Ground Control Adjustable Springs

Helloooooo.

I think i am going to buy the Ground Control adjustable springs. I called ground control and they say it will fit a 04 civic sedan. I think so too becuase the 03 and the 04 is pretty much the same cept some looks.

What do you guys think? Oh yeah, i also get hookups because i am part of a sponsored club so i will be getting them for muuch cheaper than msrp.

Do you guys recommend them? pros? cons?

thanks!

Just got ground controls on my 04 coupe, took them off a 02 Si and they fit fine. Ride is pretty good, mine are all the way down so its a little stiff but good over all.

make sure you get shocks to go along with those springs... Otherwise......you'll have a bouncy ride in no time.

With the stock shocks, can i just adjust the springs so they dont lower too much and that way make the stock shocks last as long as possible? the stock shocks cant be that weak if i dont lower it like 2.5 something like 1.5 to 1.75 should be okay on the stock factory shocks. i probably will buy shocks later, but dont have the $$ rite now.

how long the shocks last is a matter of how low you make the thing (Reducing SHock travel) and How much stiffer the springs are (Causing the shocks to work harder)

So, Ya, not lowering the car would help, but the increase in spring rate is also going to beat on the stock shocks.

^ what happened?


ground control is better then skunk2 coilovers. skunk2 quality sucks. =| but overall, its ok as an affordable coilover set. 8/10


ground control i heard, good stuff. but can be bouncy. recommend shocks with those.
