Ground Control coilover sleeves - discussion

I would say that's a decent drop, although I am not looking to go more than 3".

I am thinking that should get me to my 0 finger gap 'sweet spot'.

 

[kamozee]

Yes I believe that should be a really nice drop...can't wait to see pics of the results!

 

[SykVSyx]

As we have discussed, there are a few things that I think you and I are looking forward to in the near future!

 

[kamozee]

Yessir!

Derek, right now with sportlines/yellows I'm lowered 24.75" from fender to ground on stock rims/tires. I thought that it should be 23.75" if swapping the sportlines to GCs. I completed a math degree so this makes sense to me...

Depending on your tire size, if you run the correct size you can get up to 23.5" with the yellows. If you run some less beefy tires, you should be able to get 22.75-23" easy.

I run 215/45-17 and I am at 23.5" on the lowest setting and on default rates. When I had my old stockies, I was at 23" tire size was 195/60-15.

That makes complete sense because 215/45/17 is 0.4" higher than 195/60/15

I plan to run 225/45/17 for winter so I could obtain 23.5" easily!

How much fingergap do you have front and rear? Wondering if I get to almost no fingergap if I will rub when I go over bumps. Or would I need to get stiffer rates in order not to rub on bumps w/near no finger gap?

CB, were you looking at getting the default rate(12/8)?

If so, I don't think you will want to go stiffer in the back, since you don't have alot of extra weight in the trunk.

I'm at no finger gap all around, though I do wish I can go a bit lower. To be honest, I run 17x8 +38 and 17x9 +38 in the rears and at the lowest setting I don't even rub, maybe on some crazy dips or pot holes, but daily driving my car like this I haven't had any control arm hitting or rub my fenders. I'm only slightly rolled also, plan on rolling it some more after I get some 15mm spacers.

Steven, the stance you have now is essentially what I am looking to have.

I will be on 18's, but that's not going to be an issue as far as maintaining a similar ride hide.
