Ground Control Coilovers
Hey I was wondering if anyone knew where I can purchase this kit. Or do I order it directly from ground control.
I am set on purchasing the ground control kit as opposed to the mazdaspeed kit simply because I dont have 1500 bucks to blow on suspension.

Just call ground control. DO NOT get the mazdaspeed kit, it's the biggest rip off goin. I got mine for like $400, and it has not given me any trouble in over a year. I recommend this kit to everyone.

Mine got installed today! I called the mechanic, he's still got some other work to do on it, so I won't be getting the car until like Tuesday. Here's a weird thing, he said my rims actually HIT the strut, and he had to put a little wheel spacer in. Very weird. I guess those stupid Neeper N7's I have aren't quite the proper offset...

See I already have KYB Agx's on all fours, I simply want the ground control coil over kit. It appears that there are not any vendors that sell the kits, so I am gonna call them directly

So where did you order the ground control coil over kit from?

you can order straight from GC. I like the design of my coil-overs, I don't know why it rubs though, there ought to be more clearance. (shrugs) Now I've got an even better reason to rid myself of those ugly *** rims. I REALLY like the design of k2rd's camber plates compared to the GC ones. In the GC kit, all the force is held in tension on 4 bolts, in two places. (4 bolts in tension because the camber plate sits ON TOP of the shock tower, and another 4 bolts in tension because the adjuster plate sits on top of the camber plate!)
By comparison, in the k2rd unit, all the force is held in compression on metal plates, because the camber plate sits under the shock tower, and then the sliding part sits under that. the only time there is tension on the bolts is when the suspension is in full droop.
