Default Need Help Identifying my Ground Control Setup

Whatup everyone,

I was recently lowering my suspension and I couldn't figure out what kind of shocks I had. I knew my car came with Ground Controls, but I wasn't too sure on the shocks themselves. I have some pics of the front struts setup, maybe you guys can identify them. I'll try and get pics of the rear setup soon.

Nice, maybe I should just get Koni Yellow's instead of getting an all new coilover setup.

why? what dont you like about the reds?

you know you can adjust them a bit while you have them out. try that first.

take apart the shock, push the shock piston all the way down, hold it there and twist. you should be able to feel it moving until it reaches the stop point. clockwise for more rebound damping, counterclockwise for less rebound damping.

I don't know the mileage on the shocks, and right now I'm riding on steelies so they seem really bouncy. I have my new wheels coming in today or tomorrow though, 16x7 with some 205/45 tires. I'm really not that familiar with the suspension overall, like when it comes to details and settings. I just know how to take them in and out.
