ROAD TEST. I tested it in all three modes and felt very good. Car feels very comparable to stock OEM suspension. Maybe a bit stiffer. At high speed and low speed bumps it felt much like factory IMO. I think it a great set up for daily guys that want to keep the factory electronic damper adjustments and want camber. I recommend track guys maybe go up 1 or 2 KG in spring rate.

This conversion kit comes equipped with linear rate Eibach springs, Ground Control bump stops, Ground Control camber plates and of course, our Height Adjuster kit. All of this combined allows you to replace your factory progressive spring, and fixed position top mounts, allowing ride height adjustability and a change in spring rate, as well as alignment adjustment all while retaining your factory equipped electronic adjustable dampers.

Nice, did you pick your own spring rates?

For the novice, is there a benefit going with these springs over the OEM other than camber and height adjustment? Thanks

how much does evasive charge for the install? I did my own eibach springs last year and I don't know if I want to deal with the fronts again if i do go this route lol.

I've run GC in the past and been very happy with their quality. But that seems like quite a difference from the OEM length. Any concerns with spring displacement?

Is the front maxed out?
Height it is maxed out. But you can add camber to tuck it. Im at -2.5 but these can go pass -3 camber. You would need to cut the lip of the stock perch if you want -3 camber.

Dang that looks a lil high for being max out. Seems like swift springs drop lower.

i think he means maxed out height. not maxed out drop.
he most likely means drop, I have been on some early coilover sleeve and camber plate prototypes for months, made by another company. Drop is limited without too soft of a spring due to the minimal area honda left us to work with. The stock front spring is actually pretty short, and when you add camber plate, upper perch, and lower sleeve/perch, you end up reducing that area more and maximum drop will suffer
