 |
|
| I am considering a suspension upgrade for my car. I like flexibility, and durability. I really like the coil over kits, by Ground Control, but that may be a little over kill for a strictly street and touring machine. So are Bilstein heavy duties the best option? I am running plus size tires and wheels, but will not go more than a 16 inch wheel. I wouldn't Lower the car more than an inch or two,if at all. Thanks for any thoughts, input and such. Jamie |

Ground Control will build you a set with a spring rate/ ride height for any use. Just call them and tell them how you intend to use the car. Matching the valving on the shocks with the springs is sort of important.
Having the entire set matched will make a difference.

Thanks Jack, That's the kind of info I needed. I gave the guys at Ground Control a call, and now I just have to track down a spare set of front strut housings, so I don't have to tare the car apart now. Jamie |
