Default WTB: GROUND CONTROL COILOVERS

I'm looking to buy some new or slightly used ground control coilover sleeves for my 99 Civic ex. I am running kyb agx struts so they HAVE to fit these types of struts. If you have some that are the correct ones that I need please let me know or if u know anyone that might be selling some. Thanks

I have GC coilovers on my EK that I'll be removing soon. They are custom spring rate (350F, 250R). I'm using them w/ KYB AGX struts, so they'd also work w/ yours. However, I'd prefer to sell everything as a set. Let me know if you're interested.

You can always by my set-up & sell your KYBs.

hm... well I'll be honest I'd rather not have to recompress springs to put the gcs on if I bought them, but then again it would be more of a hassle for me right now to have to buy another set of struts and then have to sell the ones i have on the car right now. I'd def. be up for buying those from you as long as there in good condition. You said custom spring rates? I called gc inquiring about their rates and i thought that 350/250 f/r is the normal rate for these? I could be wrong though... get back to me if you ever sell em

I'm not sure what GC uses as a baseline spring rate for Civics. I do know that Integra fronts are stiffer than Civics, & rears are the same. Mine rears are a fair amount stiffer than their baseline.

In case you're wondering, my set-up should be off in ~2 weeks. Ideally, the shop will remove the entire unit. You'd just swap them for the ones in your car. No compressor needed.

I called gc and they said the normal spring rate that comes with the ones that fit the agxs would be 350/250 f/r. I would be interested in just the gcs. Just lemme know
