Ground Control Coilovers on My Vibe

Post by Bocaj77 »

Here is a pict of my Vibe with the Ground Controls on it. In the back it can probably go down another half inch in the front maybe a quarter inch but I happy with it now. The over all ride isn't that bad.

Yeah, I agree! Tint it! Just some constructive cirticism, I really like the stickers along the bottom, except for the front and rear one's. I would stack them up the front door. But that's just me. Love the red brakes, too!! I got the kit ready, I just need some nicer weather.

Sweeeeet lookin' ride, man. Now I DEFINATELY want the ground controls. Hopefully this summer. Please tell us what size tires you've got on. I'm despirately trying to find out what sizes will work with the GC suspension drop.

Coilovers are adjustable, you can adjust them to get the perfect drop.

The ride isnt to bad it dose bounce alittle but I have no rattles. The stickers are from a company called Speedesign in Balto. Maryland they specialize in vinyl graphics.

That definately looks nice. If you don't mind, how much did you get your ground controls for and where at? I'm thinking about either getting Skunk2 or those if I'm getting just springs, but I also might buy some Teins coilovers.-Slink

Did you try emailing or calling the manufacturer of the coilovers? If you don't have any contact info with the parts, either, you could probably find it on the 'net.
