Hmmm... they are from ebay, and shipping is as much as the product, and they are NOT true coilovers, just a sleeve I think? and I would NEVER buy them. Since this is a post about opinions, mine is no. never. not at all.

I have GC sleeves and don't like them. I'd say spend the money and get true coilovers.

Did you buy the kit for SRTs? What struts do you have them on?

Im actually hoping to go with GCs pretty soon. Mostly for the quality and the ability to cheaply change springs. (plan on tuning spring rates for track surfaces like I adjust my Konis.)

I bought the SRT ones and modded them to fit ACR struts. They were ok but they weren't made for the acr struts for a reason. Part of the problem may be too high of a spring rate for street driving but think it would just be alot better on other struts. It's also possible the struts I have I screwed up. I bought them used and they just don't seem to adjust right. I have a new set of coilovers coming in hopefully next tuesday and then I can swap them out.

What did you have to do to make them fit the dynamics?

FTWNeon · Post by **FTWNeon** » Sat Jul 15, 2006 2:23 pm

On the spring seat you would have to expand the hole to fit the strut thread through.

Humm. So the SRT coils should slip right on my Konis.

Did you notice any issues with ride height? As in the car being low with the coils adjusted all the way up? or being REALLY low with the coils adjusted down?

They should fit fine. Once I had them totaly adjusted to where I wanted there wasn't a ton of room left but there was still some. But then I belief the ACR struts a bit taller then the stockers. You should be alright.

So your car was lowered on ground control springs huh.....man I wanna get some that sounds so cool where can you get GC springs at? Do they sell them for our cars' stock struts or do you have to modify the spring perch to get them on?......dude I am so glad I checked your profile or I would have never known that Ground Control makes springs for our car
