Ground Control coilover sleeves - discussion

Nice pickup chris. Make sure you take of that metal spring holder holding the old sportline springs so it sits correctly.

That metal plate doesn't need to be there, the sleeves will sit perfectly on the perch.

Thanks man, I owe a lot of my decision to your experience with your GC's. I hope I didn't go too firm lol.

So there's the snap ring that fits in the groove (perch) then the little shroud that goes over it, then you set the sleeve right on top of that? I'm curious how much wiggle room there is when you slide the sleeve over the shock body.

Plzkthnx.

Np chris, gladly to help out another memeber.

They don't wiggle. Ill post some pictures of my setup I have that's off.

You see how your current sportline needs the metal bracket to hold the spring, well the sleeves doesn't need it, it sits perfectly with no wiggle on the perch.

If you do end up using the brackets, it won't allow you to go for the lowest drop, will probably take away 1" or so.

Heard back from the seller, Chris.

Here are the closest rates to your KG . Your specs fall in between the LBS

Frt 12K either 650lb or 700lb

Rear 10K either 550lb of 600lb

So, I would probably go the 650lb/550lb route for the setup.

So I was here...

Thought everything was all good, but when I lowered it...

I just reused the OEM top hat, was I suppose to reuse any of the washers or something? The diagram that came with the GC's didn't have anything on them but the shock, the snap ring, the sleeve assembly, the spring, the rubber hat, and the oem top hat.

It's like that rubber bushing in the last pic just popped through the middle of the top hat or something...?

I was missing a freakin washer. All good now, thanks to Steven, to whom I owe a case of beer haha. Thanks again man you seriously saved me.

Onto the passenger side. Rears tomorrow if I can manage them by myself.

I realize now that going with a fully adjustable suspension the first time is the way to go. At least in my case.

Np Chris, anytime haha.

GL with the rears tomorrow. Let me know if you need help with anything else.
