Ground Control Coilover Conversion Install.

I believe its pretty close to 1.75in drop. But maybe most ppl run a 35 series tire rather a 40 which is the correct profile so theres a bit of gap thinking its not as low as expected. if ppl run a 40 series with these I think there shouldnt be any wheel gap.

I agree swift is always lowest, but I think people should get GC only of they need camber adjustment and height adjustment to be at a certain height not to be the Lowest drop for sure

Ability to corner balance is also a huge plus. I think that drop in Randizzle's picture is more than low enough though.

max low on the gc doesnt have any preload on the springs. any bigger bump feels like an earthquake and the rear springs are totally divorced where you can pull it out when lifted.

I have some swift helper springs coming for the rear.

care to share hel

I have some swift helper springs coming for the rear.

care to share helper spring specs if it works out? thanks!!

 

[janfk8]

they are just standard helper springs to keep the rear springs from completely falling out.

has little to no spring rate on them.

H65-135-0008 is the product code from swift.

life saver man. thanks!!

i used Hyperco helper springs and Genesis Technology locators

Has anyone actually had issues with the rear springs coming loose?

they sat really loose at full droop, and the white cone things that come with the ground controls, i didnt really see a way for them the be effective and would prefer not take a chance while on street or track. it may bee different spring length on their standard spring rate, but my 6" 1300lb springs could easily just fall out at full droop

 

[JLOracing]

can you let me know what hyperco springs you got? 65mm right?

I will have to check, got these a long time ago, just some I had from another car.

Gotcha. Their standard rear length is 7".

1300#? Yikes! I assume those are only for the track?

GC is not willing to work with me on getting me some helpers.. asking me to pay for them lol when their kit is completely faulty.

that's unfortunate. Spring droop has been an issue with alot of GC coils and it still is it seems like. All of the problems people have would be solved by just adding like $50 worth of helper springs...

I was really looking at these to replace the eibachs with but maybe i'll switch to swifts or just keep rolling on the eibachs till there are more options.

I agree that I think the rear needs helper springs, but at nearly $180 but 2 springs and 2 coupling rings, i understand why they dont offer to give them away, they should incorporate them into the kits that use stiffer rates, and adjust price accordingly

Correct. It's a tad bit lower than the Eibach. It did settle a bit over the weekend.

I used the gc coilovers.. no helper springs, I’m hoping it settles a bit more but I’m content..
