Default Need Help Picking Out GC's For EM1 Please

Well I am going to be ordering a set of koni yellows 2mrw and want to get the ground control coil overs coming soon. I am kinda lost on where to buy and most important what ones I need for the koni yellows. The car has a hseries motor in it so im not sure what rates I need I want a very firm ride, Sorry for all the noob questions but suspension stuff confuses the hell out of me

best place to buy them would the a HT sponser, you can either buy the koni's and GC's seperate or together. There are plenty of shops that offer this deal. One of which is weksos. Keep in mind you have to buy the GC koni specific coilovers. These coilovers work only with koni shocks. Search in the sponsers form, under suspension.

here's the the suspension sponsers...

Finding the right spring rates is very hard since everybody has their own outlook on how they want the car to ride and handle. In your case since you do have the h22 up front i'd run at least 400lbs up front and somewhere in the lines of 300lbs in the rear, maybe a little bit less. Are you planning to autocross/track with this suspension?

I bought mine straight from Ground Control. I don't remember who I spoke with, but they were extremely helpful and answered a bunch of questions I had.

By the way, how're the Volks doing?

I am loving them, my car is a project rite now so It kinda looks like death but its getting there, and bmoua the car will prolly see autox at least 5 er 6 times this year... The stiffer the better for me.. And I am buying the shocks from a local shop that I get a HUGE discount from so I just need the gcs... Should I still go through a ht sponsor? and if so who?

And Dave heres a pic of your wheels

I believe Weaksauce.org (they're a sponsor) has deals on Koni/GC/tophat setups quite often.

HT link

http://weaksauceparts.com/stor...18820

$850 is a damn good deal, its $1095 if you want the extended tophats.

The wheels look awesome on there too, I can't wait for my new ones to come in.
