Default ground control upper mounts and axles

I have an EG with an H22 and and using 90 interga axles and JIC coilovers. I get a little binding at the ride height I'd like to be at so I raised it up and got rid of the problem. I was wondering if I got the ground control upper mounts would that allow me to lower the car where I want and maintain the axel geometry that I have at the ride height I am at now that doesn't create any binding?

No. What the GC upper mounts do is extend the damper rod a little further upwards and tuck the bump stop up into the mount, to allow for some extra damper travel (which translates directly to more wheel travel before bottoming out the damper). They don't change the geometry or ride height of the suspension, so your axles would remain at the same angle with or without them.

Sorry.
