Default anyone DUMPED on ground controls?

*don't know which forum to post this in*

- just wondering if anyone is DUMPED on ground control coilovers.. dumped meaning no gap to tuck
- im thinking of going with ground control on koni yellows, just hoping it will lower the car to where I want it...
- pics will be nice
- if you plan on flaming, please STFU and PM me with the shit talking.. thanks

there was a time when i was running the standard gc setup with koni's. i wasn't dumped, but still pretty low... less than a finger gap... i had to raise it a couple of turns for the 18's.

dut nice lowering.. if i end up getting my s2 you can rest assured it will be sitting at the same height :-) And most likely i'm going to stick to 16". Although i liked the pic with 18" TE's you had but i doubt u were able to drive it that dumped.

My question is why on earth would you want to do this? What sort of strange hypnosis have you been subjected to that makes you think this is a good idea?

As far as I can tell, "dumping" your car has the following consequences:

-Looks like ass
-Handles like ass
-Rides like ass
-Scrapes its ass
-Everyone will be laughing at your ass
