Default Ground Control

Well, I finally recieved my GC order, unfortunatly... the spring rates aren't the one's I wanted.

I went with 400f 350r. They sent me 350f 400r.

Should I just use these or should I send them back?

are they coilovers or just springs? If they are coilovers can't you just move the front to the rear and vic versa?

Yes coilovers. It looks like the rear ones are longer. I dunno, maybe I was trippin.

just switch the springs on the perches. At that spring rate they should be 7 or 8 inch springs, which is fine swapping them around

One more question. Am I supposed to mess with the snap rings on the Konis or should I just leave them as is?

put them at the lowest setting. it wont matter much for adjustment range. just so that the top of the sleeves is as low as possible to avoid any collision with the top hat.
