Re: Shocks/Struts/Coil Over Kits Info

["Flying Toaster Motorsports" <ilium@bit-net.com>]

Do any of you guys have the ground control kit on your cars?  If so

how was the quality and the ease of install?  I talked to a few guys

at Shine Racing that said they had a problem installing the GC stuff

on VW's.  Of course they sell their own coilovers.  Anyone have an

unbiased - you installed them on your car yourself opinion?  I know

Mannix runs them but he can custom install anything.

 

Thanks,

Subject: Shocks/Struts/Coil Over Kits Info

Was browsing through an old issue of SportCompact Car and came across the new adjustable shocks/struts from KYB.  They are offered in the ground control kit for Hondas (no comments from the peanut gallery, please!) and VWs.  Sent an e-mail to shox.com for a price quote (I'm the curious sort) and even though they don't carry it, they did offer me quite a selection.  I know a few of you were thinking of coil over kits and what-nots and they offer such a kit with Eibach springs but doesn't come with struts for $399.  Either way, I figure you can purchase a decent set of Bilsteins and still come out to spending about $750...a lot less than these $1,000 systems I see.  And if you already have a set of Boges or Bilsteins, they $399 is pretty damn cheap for a step up to coil overs.  I run Eibachs on my Scirocco 16v and I'm pleased.  They do tend to be a bit harsh sometimes but no sagging in the rear, even with the full size stereo box I've got in the trunk.  I'll be ditching that for a smaller Bazooka box soon so maybe some lucky lister will pick it up for the standard price (free/you pay shipping).  Later!
