are gforceeng coilovers just groundcontrols?

Does anyone know? I have a set of used camber plates coming, but after looking under the car, I don't think I'll even be able to get 1/2 degree of negative camber (because the current spring top hat is almost right against the strut tower...), so i might have to get some coilovers... just wondering if they are the same ones? Also, would my koni yellows work with the coilovers? also, what would be a good spring rate for a daily driver that sees some autoxing...

Thanks!

You should just need to get a new upper spring perch. The plates are the same. Cant say about the Koni's sorry. GC might know if you can actually get someone intelligent on the phone.

I've got a question...

Where'd you get Koni YELLOWS for an RX from?
I thought they only made Reds for 1st gens? And Only the fronts now too...
I'd love to get my hands on a set...

um... they came with the car, i have yellows (adjustable on top) in the front, and reds in the rear (adjustable by removing and turning)...

rx7carl, I don't understand, are there different size perches, the springs i have on the car now are pretty big, i'm not sure a smaller perch would fit them?

Damn!
Nice... Well if you ever want to sell them...

But in relation to your question, the Koni's should work fine with coil-overs...
