I moved the trans cooler, fits just fine now.

for anyone who is wondering this is the Ground Control rear coil-oiver conversion kit.

 

The shock looks upside down, can those shocks be run that way?
GC are Koni IIRC and they are oil based, which usually cannot be mounted upside down.

 

The instructions said they are to be run inverted. As far as I know, lots of people have run them this way.

 

Good, I was just checking

 

Which gc kit did you get ?have been lookin at those as my next upgrade . hows the ride ?

 

yea im wondering how the body movement is upon acceleration...?? and do you have torsion bars?

 

No I don't have torsion bars... Just the 500# springs. Should be stiff enough under acceleration, it's not like I'm making 700whp.

I got the GC 944 rear coiloiver conversion kit. I think it's the only one they offer like this. I think cost is $700 or something.

 

yea i have just the koni shocks and the whole car gets thrown back in accel...thats why i am thinking of just buying these and saving myself from the labor of installing torsion bars

 

That was the biggest thing for me. T-bars are such a pita. I wanted to be able to easily adjust ride height or swap springs whenever I felt like it.

 

It will take insane spring rates to reduce all the body movement under acceleration. I have 650 springs in the rear and during last nights tuning session we noticed suprisingly much rear movement upon acceleration in 2nd gear

 

Not all of us are making more HP than the space shuttle

 

yea true but it has to be better than my koni shocks right now

 

Do you have the OEM or a solid tranny mount? Just curious.

 

OEM. Will probably modify it this winter and/or build a brace.

 

I just installed this kit and my ride height is a bit high. Jay at GC said to move the clip on the Koni (where the upper perch stops) up to the next position. He said there are three positions. Just curious, did you notice which position was your clip in? Did your ride height increase by installing the coilovers? When I bought my rear shocks, I bought the ones that were 'ready' for a coilover conversion, but since I wasn't actually going with the springs and perches yet (to spread out the cost over time) it didn't matter at the time where the clip was.
