I have ground control coilovers but it seems as though the rear coil overs are to tall, even if adjusted all the way down the car doesn't lower anymore after a certain point and there is plenty travel left. I never measured the free height of the springs but I've heard they offer the springs in 8inch and 7inch free lenght, does anyone know if this is true.

No, not yet. Those are pillow ball mounts, correct? Did it stop the rattle you sometimes get in the rear upper mount area.

Whats spring rates are you using front and rear? I think I want to stiffen mine up a bit more, I don't realy mind the firm ride. I think mine are 350lb front and 250lb rear, not sure.

im using 350/300. Im very happy with this rate.

Yes, these are the pillowball mounts. They helped a little with the rattle, my car is gutted so i hear every damn thing!

Where do you get these from, and how much do they cost?

Scott Higashi, aka Shigspeed. E-mail is shigspeed@yahoo.com. I believe I paid $150. They're just like the moti mounts, but instead of a rubber bushing its got a little metal ball thingie.

These mounts are the funk. I set them up on my B14. You gotta get some. I previously had the motivational mounts,(which aren't bad) but the hourglass shaped rubber bushing would tend to wear prematurely. When I go the ground controls, the shigspeed mounts isolate the shaft eliminating that problem.

i have the GC 350/250 and i seem to have a very stiff but bouncy ride in the front...I have the agx's set at 3 andlike 2or3 in te rear.
Is this because i have the GC set all the way down in the front???
