.75 inch more travel means no more bottoming out. :D Here are pics
oem mount
length oem

new length
Car feels great! Lots more suspension travel and way more solid. I won't miss the sound of my suspension bottoming out.
btw.. 75 a pair from gc.

does not raise the car..raises the mounting point of the shock so that the shock is not as compressed..thus, allowing you to lower your car more while relieving the stress on your shocks...

I wonder...If i can use these with my oem itr springs on my gsr... That would be 1.5 inch lowering, for very cheap, and decent ride quality...ideas anyone?

I have the agx /gc combo 450 front 350 rear set to 2 front 2 rear daily but 3 front 4 rear for "spirited" driving.
I see no issues with using this mount with any other type of spring. The only drawback would be that the spring doesn't have and actual "seat" for the top.. You could easily fab one up using ground control upper bushings.

PS. I work in downtown with numerous trolley track and hideous roads. I practically flew over the tracks today and didn't bottom out once. Its a completely new car with these on.
I did notice the car was lower after installation, so I raised the c/o 4 turns to the original height.
roughly a 2.5-2.75 " drop. woo woo

It says it will not work with anything other than GC coilovers. To those of you that have it, do you know if this is true? The upper mount seems pretty generic. Would other springs be able to sit into the upper mount? I am interested in getting these but I am not sure. Thanks.

You can make your own too if you have access to a welder:

And it will work with any spring, GC, stock, or otherwise.
