Default Ground Control Rear Coilovers?

I checked out Ground Control and they have a koni coilover setup for the rear. Anybody buy a set of these? They look really nice and I am not sure if the price includes both rear shocks or just one. Most shocks and springs are sold in pairs.

I assume that price is for the pair. I don't have any personal experience with them, but if I was in the market (which I'm not - currently running Bilstein Escort Cup) I'd give that setup serious consideration. I previously ran Koni and was happy with them. They look very nice, very good deal since they come with spherical ends and lower mounting bolt included. I'd personally recommend (for a street car) going with the stiffer damping option and 550 - 600# rear springs (remove torsion bars), and match that with 400# front springs.

Be sure to replace your spring plate bushings with poly-bronze or delrin, especially if you plan on removing the torsion bars.

Yes, it's for the pair and Paragon Products is supposed to be carrying these too.

Single adjustable, a nice match for the front inserts.

You'll have to call, I don't think they're on the website yet.

Yup, I called up and they are for the pair. Looks like a great deal to me.

Ask if you get a discount for correcting "thier" spelling.

I got my struts, springs, koni shocks, camber plate kit from Ground Control. Very nice guys to deal with.
Rear coil overs would complement it well.

I just ordered at set. I think its more of a street set up but It will get the job done for this summer. I could not order the 3012s so this will do for now. need something to help keep those front tires under the car! went with 550 springs in the rear. car came with 400 up front and stock in the rear = understeer pig I also order the poly-bronz bushings from paragon.
