Default Want to slam my eg

I want to slam my car. I bought a set of used Koni's, and they're ok. My front is tucked, I have the EM1 Si rims, but my rear sits a little higher. I've noticed the name ground controls mentioned a lot when seeing slammed cars. What is everything I need to have my car slammed. I am not too familiar with suspension terminology, so any help would be appreciated.

Slammed isn't always the best. What are the quality of the roads and such in your area? You should do some searching on the various setups and then see which one is right for your taste, and budget

When you hear Ground Controls, they are probably paired with the Koni Yellow shocks which have a lower perch on the shock to put the coil sleeve on it.

The roads around here are decent, except when heading into D.C., which I don't do often. What I want is to be able to adjust the height of the front and rear of my car. I bought a used suspension setup - Koni Orange's I believe, don't quote me, and the rear sits higher than the front. My friend looked at them and told me that the rear can't be lowered anymore. That's why I've been looking into Konis/GC's
I checked out this site:

But, based on the picture, don't I need to get another set of top hats?

coilovers that you can preload then adjust the height and a hammer.

You re-use the stock upper mounts in the rear.
