Default NOOB QUESTION: ground control tokico blues

I know this is a noob question however i have searched, and learned that i fail at searching with correct keywords

i have tokico blue dampeners with omni power coilover sleeves

today i recieved my set of ground control coilover sleeves

the problem im having now is that i can go kinda low in the front but not in the rear due to ( the things circled in red )



my question is with my new coilover sleeves will i be able to go lower in the rear or will i need to wait for my tax returns to invest in some quality dampeners? such as the koni yellows? because all photos i see they look like this



allowing for full adjust ability in the rear as my current dampener does not

i appreciate all feedback

pic of said car

with rear maxed out

are you sure you didn't mix up the front/rear springs or something?

That's just the way it is with stock-style shocks with welded spring perches. Koni Sports do not have welded spring perches, and so they are not even used when Ground Control sleeves are fitted.

I highly suggest saving up for and getting a better shock like Koni Sports. Those coilovers will blow out Tokico HP shocks in relatively short order. The money you spend on 2 sets of shocks will most likely be more than 1 set of Konis, which should last many years.

I appreciate the info

the welded spring perches do not allow you to go low enough

As soon as my tax returns come ill be purchasing a set of koni yellows

Thanks PatrickGSR94
