Who has this setup? What are your opinions on it?

 

I do. I am not the best person to ask about the ride b/c I have my coils set at max drop 3.5" so it rides a little rough even on the softest setting. The shocks are awesome though. The car handles much better than it did with the stock shocks. It rides much better as well and the shocks are easy as sin to adjust. Anymore questions?

Any more opinions? Camber problems with this setup?

 

I am using the same set up...i have custom spring rates on my ground controls...275 in the front and 350 in the rear. My left 12 threads from the perch down. Umm..im estimating a 1.5 inch drop on my 2000 civic coupe. But the real performance came from the Koni Yellows...My car rides very firm and yet very comfortable...the ride is only mildly bumpy from the low profile tires on my 17ins...im sure if i were rolling on 16s with a higher profile..my ride would be smoother..however the ride right now isn't bumpy at all compared to my friends cars. My roomate drives an integra with Koni Red shocks and neuspeed sport springs...the car rides great..but the handling is not satisfactory to my opinion...My other friend with a 99 Civic Si is using Skunk2s coilovers with KYB AGX shocks.....his car handles great but with the exception that his ride is very bouncy..and i believe this is because that skunk does not allow custom spring rates..and theirs are set high from what i know. The only beneficial factor to choosing ground controls above others is the fact that the springs are quality eibachs and the option of changing your spring rates...and as for the Koni yellows..those are just the cream of the crop in my opinion. In tuning suspension..the difference can be chocolate and ****...and Groundcontrol/Koni Yellow is pure chocolate..but if you go skunk or whatever that is still good..just don't go maxspeed or arospeed...lol...what you pay is what you get most of the time when it comes to your car...well..that was my 2 cents..or maybe 10 bucks worth of information...he he..good luck on whatever you choose...

Hah! Never heard it put like that before.

GC/Koni Yellow's are a fantastic setup. Race proven about a bazillion times. For someone involved in autocross or lapping events, it's the best option IMO.

I've seen complaints about GC's and a "rough" ride. That's just totally inappropriate. Ride quality has almost nothing to do with the adjustable coilover. It has EVERYTHING to do with what spring rates you specify when you order them.

 

Camber doesn't really have to do with just the setup. It depends more on how much you lower it.
