Post Thoughts on koni yellow/GC/top hat setup.

Im wanting to try the koni yellow/ground control/ground control top hat setup.

Anybody running it?

Does it ride smooth, can you go really low with them?

Any feedback would be awesome.

Thanks.

Alot of people like the GC combo - personally I think they are junk designed to allow people to do things to there suspension geometry and put strain on various parts well in addition to what god wanted when he designed the car.

I have the Koni, EPC and GC top hat combo and it's very smooth and I could dump it another inch to can't clear a speed bump level if I were a teenager again.

the Koni yellow is an excellent shock. Pair it up with their threaded sleeves and hypercoil springs [with helper springs] and you've got an excellent suspension

Only tough thing is picking spring rates, as it's best to take corner weight and suspension measurement of your car specifically and calculate them
