Who is running the ground control coilover kit? I'm going to order the front kit and wanted to know what spring rate people are running? For the rear they sell the Eibach springs with different rates also. I want a real nice stiff setup. real aggresive street driving. Let me know a good choice.. Thanks

 

i like mine

 

What spring rates are you running?

 

I'm not quite running the same kit, but i'm running 375 front and 175 rear, it's pretty stiff and bumpy for street driving, but with a bit of tuning, it works great for autoxing. You'll probalby need new shocks to go with it as well, and camber plates to get the full effect.

 

Who makes your coilovers?

 

I am running the GC's with 400's in the front. A little harsh for a daily driver, but I do it anyways.

 

When I bought my 85se some 10 years ago, it was running Tokico (blues?) with I believe an Eibach spring. I've been told by people that have worked on the car that 1, they were 400lb rated, front and rear, and that my Tokicos were blown. Oh, it also has a 3/4"-1" sway bar, not sure of brand, it is also a baby blue like the Tokicos. It rode a bit rough, but nothing intolerable. I'm now about to redo the entire setup (finally) and was wondering, what would constitute a complete suspension revision? I would like to replace at least the poly bushings, the Tokicos, the Eibachs, and anything geared toward added the "newness" feel to the steering.

 

hey Rico Suave

that looks crazy nice. how did u weld that? how much travel will u end up having?

 

yes, rico, what struts are you running?

 

insted of starting another thread. is this kit for the fronts only or can you get it for all 4corners?

 

GC only sells front coilovers. They also sell Eibach springs for the rear..

 

It's made by a machinist, though he doesn't do it anymore. Do a search on beeline mfg, i posted pics and stuff. I might be switching over to ground control setup (so I can please with some different shocks, but that probably won't happen for another year...

 

Both the rx7s are running 300lbs front and 175lbs rear.. this was recommended by Ground Control.
