I have a quote for $199 for Ground Control brand. How good are they? What brand are you using? What pricing?

The HPH price is without springs. It's been a while already...
If the difference is just a couple of bucks (which it usually is with stuff like this), support your favorite shop and buy there |

unfortunately local shop is 914LTD and Brad cannot get very good pricing and sends me else where for tie rods, ball joints, shocks, etc.
I emailed HPH. my other quote is Shox.com. $99 ea for rear bilsiens. paid $260 delivered for pr of front bilstein sports! but $199 for ground control and $109 for springs. |

The Bils have 6 adjustments but they are very "course" ride heigth adjustments. Something like 12mm's for each ring groove.

Paragon carries them I think but was long-term out of stock when I was shoppin'
I got the coilover parts from Coleman. (Already had new yellow shocks). Everybody has the springs which are commodity items; it's just the collars and top hats that are slightly harder to find. |

I am a little sick. Only reason for coil overs is so I can set ride height and corner weights (cross weight) correctly.
Its just a BONUS that they are so cool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) |
