Operation Ground Control = Success

I finally got around to installing my Ground Control coilovers a while back. I was a little nervous about the spring rates making the ride too harsh, since they were 350#/in front & 200#/inch rear. However, the ride is much better than it was before with the old ST springs. The old springs had sagged a bit, and the bumpstops were seeing far too much action. The front was even missing the rubber spring isolaters that go between the spring and upper seat, allowing the car to sit ~3/4" lower. This made for less than 1" total travel before the front bottomed out.
I don't have a working camera, so no pics are available. Not too sure I would have taken any, even if I had a camera.
Only pic available, is the pic of the parts. I bought a complete set, with pre-modded strut housings. The strut housings were 84/85 large bearing, while my car is an 83. I chose to mod my small bearing housings instead.
