Got the front Ground Controls in! Pics!!

[LX98Civic]

I couldn't get the rear lugs to come off. Actually, I did get one out of the 8. After trying with the impact gun and with a hand socket for several minutes, I gave up. I'm going to get a bar so I can get some leverage and try it again tommorrow.

Anyhow, the GC's are weird and I am not sure if I like them or not. Not even sure if they are safe for the Bilsteins or not

I will say this though! With all the hassle and the pics you are about to see, I would 100% go with true coilovers if I re-do my suspension after I graduate school.....

In the first pic you can see the difference in size between the Neuspeeds and the GC's:



Even with the sleeve on the GC, they are still several inches smaller than the Neuspeeds.

In this next picture you can see how small the GC is even with the sleeve. Notice the purple arrows and ALL the space in between the top of the spring and where it sits when the weight is put onto the car:



Before installing the GC / HD's back into the car I had to raise the GC back up pretty much as high as it would go:



There is the front drivers side installed and the skunk2 camber kit surrounding the shocks / sleeves:



When I put the schock and the GC together I made sure to leave the bumpstop as far up as possible. When I let the car down off the jack, the bumpstop came ALL the way down to the body of the shock. I don't think that is good, but I cut a 1/3rd off which was 1/2 the size of the stock bumpstop maybe I should of cut more......

Here's the final result.....

Yea i noticed the difference too in the size of the eibach spring that came on the GC and my stock spring...I think thats a reason why, when all the way up, the GC's dont take u to stock height. They come close though. Ur right though that extra gap puts more pressure on the shock. But arent the eibach springs made to give out an equal amount of force that is being put on them? Dont know.....either way I LOVE the ride on the GC's even w/ the stock shocks! But hey man ur car looks real nice bro! Love the clear/reds...hope u like the GC's as much as I do

Thanks for the props!!

Here are two pics to compare......

NEUSPEED SPORTS:



GROUND CONTROLS:



Thought I'd post that up for you all to see the difference.......

**The main thing to look at is the bumper gap that comes off from the headlights. You can really see where it lines up on the wheels in the 2 pics

Looks real good bro! Bet it looks better in person! Aggresive ass stance huh?! hehe Also man good looking headlights! Noticed u painted the housing black! Good look man! So whats the story?....You Like the GC's or what?

does your tire hit a lot??? cuz i want to get some coilovers maybe later on but my shit's low as it is. does your tire hit the wheelwell a lot?? oh and how is the camber kit working out? is it easy to adjust and whatnot?? do you have to know a lot about that stuff to adjust them correctly?
