I have the phase 2 from Truechoice...however if i were to do it again, I would have gone w/ Ground Control or another set like from Apexi, etc.

The reason is b/c The truechoice setup doesn't come with upper mounts, and you have to resuse your old ones and modify the rubber spacers by drilling an extra 2mm (from 10-12) to get them on.

It was such an ordeal considering the tools I had.

It's on now, and until I find a place to align my wheels, I will see how well it handles. On full soft..it's soo much harsher ride than stock, also taking in that it is now 1.5 inch lower with 40 and 45 profile tires.

All i need now is to paint my calipers =)

thanks carson and frank

i thought phase 2 wasnt adjustable for rebound/compression because stage 3 was the first to use the koni adjustables.
isnt there a way that you could have them put new upper mounts on there??
might be a little extra, but it sounds worth it to me.

what i like about what is said on truechoice's site about theirs in comparison to ground control is that the shocks are valved for the specific spring setup and not a retrofit to some genericly valved shock like a bilstein (which is what i would probably go with)

anyone have comments on the ground contol kits?

and others who are using the truechoice phased kits...please reply and advise

I know stage one is koni & eiback prokig/sport springs and stage 2 is single adjustable with coil-over springs while stage 3 is double adjustable. I really thought that the kits came with upper piller mounts. hmmmmm need to check that out.

Two things I didn't like about them:
They are double adjustable, but compresion is adjusted on the shock body, not at the top. Also there's not a distinct position on the rebound. It's infinitely adjustable, which in my opinion sucks because instead of comparing a distinct position I'm always remembering how far I've rotated the **** in degrees. If these don't bother you call michael at truechoice. Very honest and courteous guy.

A friend ordered M2's which apparently are double adjustable at the top with distinct positions, but are more $.

M2 has a very nice setup. A guy around here has them and they rock. Plus he can actually drive the car to its full potential. Problem is they are big $$. Too rich for my blood.
