    gi wtb: ground controls

    I'm sort of wondering what a used set of ground controls will cost me. Looking to put them on my 323 because I want to be able to raise and lower it according to my needs. (summer= slammed, winter=raised to the max)

    Not really able to afford it at this time, but I'd like to know what they go for so that I can budget some money for them for the future.

    Thanks

    You can do what I did, ebay coilover kit (6" #450 fronts/7" #350 rear springs), run the 7" #350 springs in the front, and buy some used #175-225 replacement coils for the rear...chuck out those stupid #450s lol...rides like ass...

    Ground controls run a 6" #300f/7" #200r spring setup, just to compare spring specs...

      So basically you are running #350 coilovers in front and stock springs in back or were you able to fit the ebay coilover over the stock springs.

        Ya #350 fronts, and I have new #200 Eibach replacement coils coming for the rears ($120 shipped).

        All I did to my ebay coilover kit was screw around with the top hats so they slid onto the strut shaft, and then grooved them out to fit the OEM strut mount bearings.
