Default to all Ground Control coilover owners

I found someone trying to sell my some Ground Control coilovers? I took a look at them, but they look different from the pics I saw on the website. The adjustable rings are red instead of gold. The sleeves are black instead of red. The hat is red rubber instead of silver aluminum. I'm think that these aren't REAL GC coilovers? Or could they just be very old?

What color are your sleeves?
What color are the adjustable rings?
What material is the hat made from?

it sounds like the Weapon-R coilovers. I have them right now, but don't like them at all.

Ummm the rings on my GCs are red and the sleevy things (yes that's the technical term) are black. I mean if you don't trust it then just go get them somewhere else.

If the sleeves are black and the collars are red then you don't have Ground-Control. Another way to tell if you really have GC's is one the sleeves have Ground-Control on them and two, look at the springs. They should be made by Eibach. Also GC's only have one locking collar not two.



sleeves=maroon/dark red
collar=gold
spring=eibach
urethane uppers=black

I have had 2 sets and both looked just like what Gcoffey listed above exept mine did not have ground control on the sleeave.

The only thing you have to look at is the springs thats what make GC so good. if thay say Eibach and or GC your good to go
