anybody using the new ground control upper shock mounts?

what exactly are they doing for you? allowing the top of the shock shaft to extend higher than it normally would, thus allowing you to lower the car w/o compressing the shaft as much?

GC doesn't seem to have updated their site in a while, as it still says "xx" for the amount of travel gained. is this still a developmental item, or is it available? if anyone has it, how much additional travel is available?

thanks,
phil

I have them. They don't clear the OE strut tower bar on a GSR and I really have not noticed much additional travel.

I have them on my CRX. You gain 3/4" of travel. They work very well. Also, it has no effect on the STB on a CRX

So would you assume they wouldnt clear on a 00 Si, either?
