prob pretty low i reckon

GC? wats that stand for?

ground control?

its just a decent brand that is spammed on ebay i guess

but id say, 3inches should be fine, depending on ur driving style

u shoodnt scrub either, as long as u get the right tyres

You know those sleeves titled "coil-overs" on ebay.... well the Ground Control are exactly same thing..but they are named much more appropiately... they are coil over "sleeves" ...there basically something you slip over your shock , so that you can adjust the height via the perches the springs sit on.

In short , the good thing about Ground Control Sleeves are that they are designed and manufactured to mate with popular shock absorbers . The springs they use are eibach springs...and should in no way be considered the same as those cheapo ebay "coil over sleeves"

By scraping do you mean, the under carriage , or the wheels inside the wheel arches.....3inches should be fine, though you may need your guards rolled with that wide profile tyre.

Koni = one of the better shocks on the market
GC = one of the better springs with proven race testing and sleeve design to ensure things stay where they are supposed to.

Together = height adjustable, damper adjustable spring shock combo which > most budger coilover setups.

is this set up cheaper than a set of coilovers?

Coilovers range from low 1k to high 2K+..... Soo no not neccesarily... Koni + GC Setup will set you back about 1-1.2k..


Guard rolling, is where they re mould( some places just bash it in) your wheel arch/guards(the black bit ontop of the wheel).. so that when you turn and stuff it wont rub.. the black guard...
