Meet the new ride height...

Post by tmarsh »

same as the old ride height...kind of. Yesterday the UPS man brought me the solution to my comfort issues. I'm now on H&R sport springs and KYB GR2s instead of the Ground Control coilovers and (blown) KYB AGXs. So far I'm impressed with how close the ride height is between the two, and relieved at how much better the car feels now. Here's a quick driveway shot to show you the new stance...

PS: The Ground Controls are now for sale.

Looks good, but confused on the "relieved at how much better the car feels" part. It probably felt sloppy due to the shocks that were blown. Why didn't you just buy new adjustable shocks and call it a day? That way you could have adjusted the height and the damper to your liking.

1. I'm too lazy to be bothered with adjusting things.
2. I wanted a general idea of what my spring rates were.
3. Someone will make better use of the GCs than I did.
