Hi All - I'm selling my ZHP and removed the Ground Control Coilovers and reinstalled the OEM suspension. I bought this kit directly from GC in February of 2015, it was installed later in March and has about 6000 total miles on it since. It's Koni sport inserts, GC custom Eibach springs, GC front camber plates and rear lower adjustable camber arms and all associated hardware.

I loved how this kit drove, stiffer than stock but not unbearable for daily driving. Lots of room to go very low.

The whole kit is around $2100 new from GC. I'm looking to get $1400 shipped, shipping will be expensive as it's very heavy.

Here is my car with the suspension installed. I'll have to ask GC about the warranty transfer. I have the original paperwork and I would guess Koni would warranty to the new owner. Also, they are Single Adjustable Konis.

ZOMG! I would jump on this if I was local. I would get killed in shipping costs.

How many threads/inches left at the pictured height do you have left? Also, how does the adjustment collar lock?

Lot's the threads remaining in the pics are where it was set. It could have gone at least 2" down from there on all 4 corners.

I've got domestic shipping covered but not sure how much to Canada. I'm sure it is a lot.

I'm interested, have been leaning towards BC BR coils but some of the recent testimony of possible blown struts or other component issues in another thread has me slightly hesitant now. Only other option I was considering was KW

I've had GCs on a few different cars and their stuff is the best quality Ive seen. I'm a huge fan of Koni and the combination of GC and Koni was awesome. Their rear camber arms are very nice, grease port on the bushing too so you'll never have noise or binding. Very easy to adjust both the front and rear camber.

FWIW, I'm not a fan of the KW design on the spring seats/perch. It has a small hex-key nut that was locked solid on the used set I bought. KW even has a line item on their RMA form for that fix.

Not sure of the design on these but the price is attractive! GLWS OP.

I've never had an issue with the spring perch on my front KW's. I think the nut gets locked from inexperienced over tightening.

Classic example of a company having to fix something for inexperienced consumers.

Anyways, you mention this often, and thought I would mention this nut seizure doesn't always happen.

Edit: Goes to garage to attempt adjusting ride height and nuts are seized....lol.
