Ground Control install and picture request

I just got a used set of FD Ground Control coilover kit for Koni's. Does anyone have the installation instructions and/or pictures of the installed coilover you can forward me or post? Any tips or advise on the install and height adjustment would be great. Thanks.

Too bad you didn't post yesterday. I just installed them this morning. I'd be willing to talk to you about it on the phone if you need some advice. PM me a # and I'll call you on Sat.

Can you take a quick picture of the installed kit? Did you use the original rubber mounts?

Thanks, the link really helps. But my setup is different than the one shown on the link. I think my is the older version of the GC kit. Does anyone have this version and can tell me if I just need to use the stock rubber mounts? Here's picture of the kit.

OK, I contacted Ground Control and they told me that this is not one of their kits and it appears to be a Bicknell Racing/Koni setup. Does anyone know anything about this kit or heard of this? I always through only Ground Control and M2 made coilover kit for the FD.

I just saw some generic coil over kits on ebay that look a lot like the ones in the pics. Those are definitely not Ground Control. If you bought them from someone on here please post his user name in the Bad Guy section so he doesn't **** anyone else over.

I guess you can try and use the flat part under the stock upper shock mounts but that doesn't leave a lot of room for the spring. You probably don't even know the spring rate for the ones you have which is another negative.

Personally, I'd auction these off on ebay and get the real thing. It might save you a few headaches.
