I HAVE ground control AND I FOUND THAT IT'S hella HARD TO ADJUST THE HEIGHT OF THE FRONT. It seems like it stucks and the shock plate is on the way blocking my view. Cannot put the key into the hole. could somebody teach me how to do it?

The front ground control coilovers are a bit harder to adjust - you just have to jack the car up a bit higher to be able to reach the locking perch.

Well you have to jack up the car so that the wheel is off the ground. So it's not like you can stop your car before a big speed bump, adjust your coilovers, and be on your merry way. With Ground Control coilovers you just use an allen wrench to unlock the perch, then you rotate the perch to raise or lower the car. Simple as that.

ok, i got GC, have you read the Honda Tuner where
it shows you how to install the GC?
the perch that youre stock springs used to sit in has to cut off
so when you slide the GC sleeve over the strut, you have
nothing blocking your view and you can get the alan wrench
in there and oh ya when you cut the perch leave a little bit of metal
around so the sleeve wont slide down the strut...
its easy..

Hey you

I know the skunk2's are really easy to change the height on. They ride really well too.

what does a body shop know that a import shop will not. They are probably talking about the bouncy ride the gc give. Well, like most people, they lower there car without changing the shocks. The stiffer the springs, the stiffer you need the shocks to be or a bouncy ride you will have. They are not shocks absorbers b/c they do not absorb road shock, the springs do. "shocks" are really dampers and dampen the bounciness of the springs.

Thats my two cents.

Saving up for JIC coils. Just got a new job and I do 1/10 of the work(of my old job) and only get paid 50 cents less.
