Default anyone rocking ground controls on their 4th gens?

Is anyone using these on their 4th gens? I plan on buying some and want to know how they ride and if you can tuck tire no problem(ppl are having trouble w/other coilover suspensions). Also right now i'm riding on tein s-tech's w/tokiko illuminas, would I just be able to swap out the tein's for the GC's, and how hard would this be? thanks in advance

swaping springs is easy, takes about 30 mins per wheel..u need a set of spring compressors, just get them from autozone.

you can rent them i think, if not they are like 30 or 40 dollars..and why would u want to tuck your tires? your losing steering angle and suspension travel...

I honestly cant see why tire tucking is of upmost concern to u. Do u realize u have 2034587420852 thing that are more important than being able to tuck ur tires on a "sports car"?

Being able to tuck ur tires possesses the least amt of importance on ur car unless ur 100% about just tryin to "impress" ppl. If u wanted to impress us here in the "Prelude" forum u'd ask something along the lines of a topic that had to do with camber/toe or something else more technical than sayin u wanna tuck ur tires and ur cheap......

If u are swapping out springs and struts,then u will not need a spring compressor.If u use the struts u currently have and put new springs on them,then yes u will need a spring compressor.

Tucking tires does not equal good handling
