Default Uhh, what the hell is this?

Ok,

So about two years ago my GF gave me these GROUND CONTROL parts from her distributor. She works at an import shop and they did some pretty good sales to she got them. She gave them to me.

They are a Gray "top hat" piece that i guess goes over the tops of your shocks to give the Coilover and shock a higher mounting place and give the front suspension more travel?

Im gonna try and get some pics but has anyone heard of this or anything? it doenst come with any instructions and i dont even know if they made it to production. need help here!

Edit: Found what I have: http://www.ground-control-stor...CA=71

Next question: Anyone have these? how do they work? any reviews?

I have them on my car. If you want a good review on them do a search they have been covered many times in the roadracing/autox forum.

FOr me they improved the ride quality as more suspension travel = better overall ride.

They never came with instructions when I got them from Ground Control. Like said before just replace them with your stock top hats and your good to go.
