Ground Control Coilover Pics??

Can I see the pics of your ground control coilover sleeve setups? I would really like to see how they look installed and how much clearance is present.

Thanks a ton!

I'm running the GC 8" coilover sleeves on AGX Struts.

Here's a full profile shot:

Here's a couple shots inside the wheel well:

Hope this helps.

Hey thanks a lot for the pictures man! Really appreciate it! I think I'm sold! How do you like the adjustability?

woah you need some helper springs or something. Those springs shouldn't be unseated at full droop.

Jamal I was thinking the same thing but in the next picture you can see the wheel is unbolted so the suspenspion must be sagging all the way down.

Yeah, unlikely you'll see that much extension unless you're off the ground, but I think it would still possible to unseat the inside spring on a hard bump or corner.

There's a guy on nasioc/iwsti (stretchjse) who's done all the spring rate/length/travel calcs but I still haven't bothered to read through it all.

Yes, the suspension is completely hanging free. I thought about the helper springs when I installed the suspension but it quickly left my mind since I'm not quite sure how to go about it/where to buy them.

As for the adjustability I pretty much set the height and forget about it. Since they are 8" springs I don't see myself dropping them any lower than full extension because it will be WAY too low.

Dampening adjustability is great. 4-way up front and 8-way in the rear (currently set at 3/4 F/R) allows me quite a bit of control. Especially important for when the snow flies (like right now).
