So I just got some rota circut 10's with 205/40/17 tires and I want to lower my car on groundcontol coilovers, but I dont know much about coilovers, so I was if you guys could point me to right direction on this one.

I want to get koni yellows with them to, so which ones should I get.

Like I said do not know much about coilovers or springs since I've never lowered any of my cars..

 

gc/koni's are a great setup for the price. you can pick custom rates at no extra cost, the sleeves are designed to specifically match up to the shock bodies. you can get revalved shocks to better handle higher spring rates at an extra cost.

 

where can I order ground contol for a good price..

Be aware that they are not plug and play and they are a compromise.

For that price range, they can be a good setup. So far I'm happy with mine but have not tracked them yet. Albeit they have been corner weighted and aligned properly and to my specs.

There is fabrication required. The instructions included with both the GC and Koni setups are unclear to vague at best.

If you are not mechanically inclined, or don't have the proper tools and place to work and at least a moderate knowledge of what exactly it is you're doing, I'd suggest something else. I don't know what, maybe PIC although I'm not fond of them really which is why I went the GC/Koni route. In the future though and for suggested ease of installation for other newb's I'd choose a well made package. Unfortunately I don't have the budget nor do I know exactly what I'd really want. So I just went with something tried and true.

Your definition of "plug & play" might be different than mine.

The Koni SPSS/GC setup I have, required taking the stock suspension apart, taking the bushings out of the stock ITR top hats and redrilling them to fit the Koni shock. Then reassembling with extremely vague to poor instructions from both companies. The GC picture showed reassembling the new setup after cutting the stock dust boot then utilizing the supplied GC black poly bushing that was both poorly constructed (crappy tolerences, 1 of the 4 bushings was actually visibly uneven) and doesn't properly seat into the stock top hats and made corner weighting impossible.

Our solution was to remove the whole suspension again, remove the crappy GC poly bushings and just run spring to top hat. When we took the whole setup apart, we noticed that 3 of the 4 dust boots that we had cut to GC's spec and reinstalled as per the vague instructions had gotten crunched, so we removed them as well, so now the setup it solely the GC/Eibach - collar/spring mated with the Koni SPSS shock and modified OEM top hat.

I dealt with and had helpful discussions from both Chris Shenefield at Redshift motorsports and Lee Grimes (CRXLee) of Koni NA. Several of our issues were discussed and of course eventually solved.

I just feel after the install and the snaggs and issues we had that they are most definitely Not a plug and play suspension nor would I completely suggest them to others looking for said "Plug & Play" suspension. For the price so far they seem like a good deal, performance remains to be proven, but for certain they are a compromise when it comes to ease and simplicity especially for a total Newb or installer with basic knowledge, tools and ability.

This sounded like a remotely helpful opinion till you said this:

Now it just looks like a self serving advertisement.

How about elaborating on the differences where you truly feel your product is superior instead of just making bold statements to the OP who is a self proclaimed newb to the whole idea.
