I couldn't get the rear lugs to come off. Actually, I did get one out of the 8. After trying with the impact gun and with a hand socket for several minutes, I gave up. I'm going to get a bar so I can get some leverage and try it again tommorrow.

Anyhow, the GC's are weird and I am not sure if I like them or not. Not even sure if they are safe for the Bilsteins or not :confused:

I will say this though! With all the hassle and the pics you are about to see, I would 100% go with true coilovers if I re-do my suspension after I graduate school.....

In the first pic you can see the difference in size between the Neuspeeds and the GC's:



Even with the sleeve on the GC, they are still several inches smaller than the Neuspeeds.

In this next picture you can see how small the GC is even with the sleeve. Notice the purple arrows and ALL the space in between the top of the spring and where it sits when the weight is put onto the car:



Before installing the GC / HD's back into the car I had to raise the GC back up pretty much as high as it would go:



There is the front drivers side installed and the skunk2 camber kit surrounding the shocks / sleeves:



When I put the schock and the GC together I made sure to leave the bumpstop as far up as possible. When I let the car down off the jack, the bumpstop came ALL the way down to the body of the shock. I don't think that is good, but I cut a 1/3rd off which was 1/2 the size of the stock bumpstop maybe I should of cut more......

Here's the final result.....

It's too low, it'll pop the bumpstops all the time.

GC sent you the wrong kit. There are 2 kits. One drops you more than the other. You can fix this by either getting longer springs, or a longer sleeve.
