Default Ground Control Coilovers

I have heard that Ground Control has or is going to make coilovers for the 350z. If so does someone have more info on them.

Thanks

hah, those aren't coilovers. Those are wannabe coilovers.

Real coilovers are Tein, JIC, Aragosta, etc.

Well theirs our plan B for the Koni Sports when they come out in spring 04. For those of us that want more spring stiffness. The question remains however, just how much more spring stiffness can be paired with the Koni's with them having less compression dampening then stock and will rebound only adjustability allow them to function well with stiffer springs and HOW much stiffer.

I just called Ground-Control and spoke to them on the phone. They said they are in process R&D wise on a set of sleave coilovers for the Z and that I could call back around the 1st of the year and they should be done. They said the spring rates are set, but they declined to say what they were until the product is finalized for release.

I hope thier rates are 400/450lbs front and 480/540lbs rear, which would equal 15% to 30% stiffer than stock.

The money you spend on GC with Koni, it is best to go with a real coilover system. Tein, JIC, HKS,Tanabe ...
