Who cares Vortex... It' was my car and I don't mind. I take it as a compliment.


There is no conversion per say... But you can buy a coilover setup for the rear. Search is your friend here.

Ground Control makes a coil over for the rear with a Koni shock.

My ride is not too shabby.. lots of mods MO30sways,konis, 400# springs up front, LR maf maftuner, 55#injectors,max chips,lsd with cooler.... looking to make the rear end stiffer and more adjustable with the rear coilovers.

are the ground control set-ups good quality and performance? They seem (IMO) to be on the cheaper side of the performance suspension spectrum but thats just because I see alot of guys with them on honda's

Damnit! I put put koni sports on my car last year, then converted the front to coilover from paragon. I wanted to delete the torsion bars and run coilovers on the back, but couldn't find them for koni sport until now. I wish I found these a year ago!
