coilover CONVERSION kits

Hello

Can i have some feedback on coilover conversion kits? I just got me some KONI sport shocks and i LOVE them, so i dont want to buy a complete coilover system and waste the money i spent on the KONI's not 3 months ago. I want teh flexability of a coil over now though. What types of kits are available? I like the look of the ground control kit. It is available for around $585 bucks and if i am not mistaken that is damn good for a coilover. Any feedback form y'all who have them would be awsome. PICS???

thanks so much

Bobby

Here's the M2 setup (the same or very similar to GC) on my GAB super-R shocks:

In comparison to the majority of applications the sleeve coilover system is quite expensive on the FD application. Unfortunately this app requires additional hardware resulting in this cost. I believe GC would be your best bet.

I offered a group buy on these to another club and you're welcome to join in on that. I'm sure it will be a big savings in comparison to any other.

You're welcome to choose your spring rates and i already know you have Konis. Let me know when you decide.

What I like about the Konis so much is that you can remove the lower spring perch and give it the aesthetics of a "true coilover". I have the Koni/GC setup on my miata and I love it. It actually looks like a coilover. hehe.

I'll take some pics when the it's not flooding around here. Maybe pull it in the garage for you. It's not an FD, but will have a similar appearance. The colors will be the same. lol.
