My Ground Control's just arrived today and since I have access to a scanner now, I'm posting the instructions up! The pics are kind of large, sorry! They need to be actual size so all the details are visible and we cna see what we're working with. It looks as if these instrutions are generic and really intended to be installed on your stock shocks.
In the pic on the left side it says to cut the stock bumpstop in half and use the upper half (the thicker piece). What about the Bilstein HD bumpstops? Should I still cut them in half?
What about that piece above the bumpstop that says to cut and save 1 1/2" and discard the rest? I can't even remember what the hell that piece is.

If anyone has done this install post up your experiences and any tips you can offer.
Thanks!

Got the same ones. You need to cut the stock bumpstops, because of the lowering, and increase travel the new shocks have to go. If not, you'll be slamming on them all the time, and the ride will be harsh. Not familiar with the Bilstein HD bumpstops, what do those look like? I'd say if they are the same size as stock ones, you should cut them.

On another forum someone installed GC's with Koni Yellows and said he just used the stock bumpstop and dust boot cover. I may just do that....

honda-tech.com rules. Makes people on this forum look like a bunch of monkeys on acid.
You're going to have to cut your boot cover, almost no way around that, cause it will hit. Bumpstops, I'd cut to. Not going to hurt anything by cutting them. Just don't remove them all together
