Default Anyone had Ground Controls Fail Them?

As the topic says, has anyone ever had Ground Controls screw up on them? Say stripping the thread on the sleeve or something?

I've heard it happen to other sleeves, just wanna make sure importing a set of GC's is a good idea

Cheers

I have GC with 400f/350r Eibach springs. The ride is slightly harsh but the car handles well.

The allen screw that tightens down the perch has stripped on 3 of my coilovers (yes, i was using the right size allen key). Do not tighten these screws very tight. They are weak.

i love my gc. 450 up front 850 in the rear. I never fully tighten the allen nuts, but i haven't had a problem with the sleeves at all.

Sounds promising then...i'd rather keep my Koni's and get GC's than get Tein's or something (which i'd also have to import, seems only the US gets the Tein Basic and SS coilovers ).

I like my current springs, but i'm aiming to have a 1005 legal, roadworthy car and coilovers are the only way to do it

Cheers

Not too many things wrong with the GC coilovers but that allen bolt keeps falling off though...but it SEEMS that you can get any type of Teins you can in the US...
