So i just learned to Eibach manufactures these bad boys.... the only reason i could see myself gettin the ground controls over the Eibach Sportline kit is the fact that they are adjustable. Any significant difference here in performance or ride quality? How often do most of you adjust your settings anyways? Also the Sportline springs are listed with a 1.7 to 2.3 drop range... does that mean i can set the car to that level or is that how much it could potentially settle? My goal is to have the car dropped to about 2 inches becuase to my understanding anything more than that will void the warranty for my koni yellows i am planning on using as part of the setup. I am also swappin wheels soon for some Rota C-8 16in wheels but i havent figured out what tires to use. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cant beat GC + Koni for the price

 

yeah but if im really not gonna be playin with the ride height that much why do need to pay another 100 bucks or so for a feature ill use maybe once or twice... if the warranty is voided on the koni yellows past two inches, then im not going to drop it more than 2 inches. So why not get the Eibach Sportline springs seeing how they MANUFACTURE GC already? isnt it pretty much the same shyt>? anyone who knows wassup with this, i would greatly appreciate your feedback and suggestions....

Huh?

And eibach does not make GC sleeves. GC makes GC sleeves and the use Eibach springs.

If you're like most of us, you will get into the sport deeper and deeper, and end up having more of a use for the feature than you currently imagine.

 

Ground Control's website said that they are manufactured by Eibach... and I remember reading and hearing in a few places that if your car is dropped more than 2 inches with koni yellow struts... the warranty on the struts will be voided... anyone else come across this or am i trippin.... thanks again in advance HT members

You are talking about KYB

Interweb misinformation bandwagon......

 

good shyt RJ ... your right cuz i was looking at those when i started doin all my research.... GOD BLESS HONDA TECH... LOL looks like you guys helped me make my decision unless anyone else has some input that they think will impact my decision. I think im gonna have to lock in GC and koni yellow....now the only question that remains is where i can get them and whats the best deal i can get for em.

 

We make the springs. GC makes the hardware.

Werd!!!

Same exact situation here...

 

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the spring rate and spring construction differences between the two. honda makes civics and nsx... does that mean they serve the same purpose? sportlines are lowering springs that are pretty much just for looks, while the springs they make for GC are linear springs usually with much higher rates and are aimed towards performance.

Between the two WHAT?

You can get ground control coil-overs with any rate you want...

 

I think everyone on this forum is wrong. Koni and GC suck. Get drop zone springs and then have your friendly mechanic use his torch to cut off 1.5 loops. Then go to Pep Boys and get shocks for a '72 Impala. Weld a U to the bottom of the Impala shocks for the rear mount and cut off the eyebolt for the front mount. This is the hot lick. All the JDM guys are going to it. Honda-Tech sucks and is full of people who know nothing but pretend to be racers.

see now why would i go and do all that? are you currently running this setup? what kinda car are you runnin and what experience have you had with this cuz to be honest you are the first and only one i have heard to knock to GC/ Koni package.

 

Its called "sarcasm"

 

imo GC/KONI's are best way to go...best money i have spent on my suspension...

 

Depending on what you are doing with the car, you may not need to spend the money for a gc/koni setup.
