is ground control suspension worth it?

They are not on the car yet, thus the "off the car" pictures.

I still need to get around to ordering the GC coils and rear koni shocks. I will be ordering 400/350 springs w/ the GCs.

So how are you holding the shocks in the housing? I thought the 8611 was meant to work with a gland nut on the top.

What rear shocks are you using? Yellows, like AceinHole? Or something else?

And to the other guy that posted, why would you need ground controls with Motons, that makes no sense at all.

agreed, I also spy a large bolt on the bottom of his housing holding the strut in from the bottom, this tells me it's an off the shelf koni yellow.

I have a setup almost identical to PJ (aceinhole) with the exception of the 8610 RACE insert, these do require custom housings, especially if you want to gain back some inner tire clearance on the S13 chassis.

For the rear, I'll be reusing the koni yellow with GC hardware for the time being, but will switch over to an 8610 in a custom housing to work with a Z32 rear upright.

Here is what mine looks like currently... still waiting on the rest of my GC order to show up. I'll be running some 550lb springs up front and 400lb springs in the rear.


Where the glan nut is threaded into the top to secure the insert into the housings.
