so its been a while since the release of the g.c. coilovers and i was just wondering if anyone has pics of them installed on a xb. got my coilovers today and should have rs1 by friday so if not i should have pics after install.

 

I dont have pics of my cheezy dick adjustable springs installed yet...

 

how low are you planning on dropping it with the 18's? i remember you saying that you would drop it in summer and raise it in winter thats why i ask. also is there any easy way to adjust them evenly at all four corners? would you just use a sharpie or something to mark them evenly? i think i may try about 2.25 inches with mine and see how that feels then may go lower idunno?

 

All the way down. I think measuring them should be done prior to install....

 

planning on doing the install this weekend. no trouble with install i hope. are you guys with this setup pleased? Doc have you gotten yours on yet? did those rubber bushing things work out/ did you use them? Minsk99 how are your g.c. c/o doing?

 

I am very happy with them! I have yet to bottom out and I filled my gap between fender and tire almost all the way. I am running 205/60/15 tires with the setup. It is very easy to adjust the springs once you have them on. I would recommend this. Do not try and figure out how much you want to drop and then measure this on the adjustment mechanism. That is what screwed me up at first. Put the disks around half way down each. Then look at it with the car on a level surface and decide how much you want to come down in the front and rear. Each full turn will adjust 1/8". It is very important to be very level! The rear control arm is very sensitive and if you are on even a slight incline one side of the rear will look uneven. Also, when you adjust the disks, make sure that you leave the locking screw easy to reach. Otherwise you will be cursing yourself (I wonder who did that at first :oops: ). Have the screw facing toward the inside of the car. One other thing to keep in mind is that the rear springs are much shorter then the stock. This means that when you jack the car up the springs will pop out. It may be necessary to hold them in place and have some one ease the car back down on them. I only had to do this for the initial install. When I want to adjust the rear, I just make sure that I jack the can only enough to take tension off the springs.

 

cheezy dick?
many serious pure racecars use ground control's setups


what do you want pictures of, how low the car gets or what the hardware looks like?

on my XA, the front goes lower than anyone would want it.

on the rear, it doesnt go all that low. you might want to ask for 1 or .5 inch shorter springs for the rear
