OOOOoooooooooooooo

Very cool. Anybody have a thought as to whether these might work w/400# 2" shortened springs? (not stock springs )

emoore, if those springs you are refering to are made to fit in the factory location/hats, then the answer is no, the coil overs will have a smaller center OD but you will be able to find 400# for them.

I'm not so sure about that Lizard.

I think the ground controls are set up to use the same diameter spring as stock. It is really just an adjustable perch that makes them what they are. Most kits I have seen use regular Eibach springs, not the small diameter ones used in say... rear coil overs.

Someone buy some and tell us what you get!

Pretty confused - here's GC's webpage (note that we have VW A1 front suspensions on our cars, parts are interchangeable fully):
http://www.ground-control.com/?D=c0f5eab1262be44724ec3945e9ccb9b8

Those pictured look like 2.5" race springs, as I'm using. I definitely wouldn't order without asking questions...
