i'm looking for some advice about these if anyone is willing to give it. i've tried the search function and didn't pick up a whoe lot of information. my intentions with the purchase of this are to improve handling for a track newbie and lower the car slightly (less than an inch). any help or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

 

- I have read, good for streets and not "THE BEST" for track...

 

sol its a step down from stock for track use?

 

I have them and they're fine for the track. Not as good as the high end stuff but better than stock IMO, and I ran stock on the track for a couple of years before getting the GC's.

 

strike, what springs and shocks are you running?

 

If you're going for just a minimal drop "less than one inch" and looking for slightly increased track performance than I'd go for the KG/MM springs. No need for adjustability if you already know your "preferred ride height" They will improve handling and they're less expensive than the adjustable Ground Control

 

I have the Ground Control Advanced Design coilover setup, including their (I think they use Eibach) springs and dampers. I don't remember the spring rates but they're moderately high.

 

the only reason i'm so intrested in the ground controls is because i can get a great deal on them. i can get them cheaper than i can get springs which are also a very good price. i wasn't really looking to get a new suspension quite yet because i want to learn how to drive the car a bit better before throwing in over a grand into suspension for track use which i havent fully gotten into. i think in purchasing the ground controls i will get the desired drop and have a small increase in performance for track use, with those in mind plus the great price they are unbeatable. thats pretty much my mind set after the research i've done. i posted this hoping someone would chime in with some more knowledge and maybe prove me wrong before i buy them.

About the kg/mm springs, I've been using the DR21 Race ever since I started tracking the car. I do regret this, as I am not sure whether handling has improved or not. IMO, you should stay with the stock setup until you're fast enough that an aftermarket setup will improve your laptimes.
