Default Re: Ground Control kit reviews

have put about 6K miles on the 1,000 lbs. fronts and 750 lbs. rears. Here is a pic after it has settled. The front is adjusted at the highest it will go, rear is about 1/2 way up. It rubs in front and back under really hard dips in the highway and pulling in and out of entry ways where the pavement dips. I still LOVE the system and have so much fun ripping through corners on my daily commute. I ordered 100 lbs. stiffer springs of the same 8" height as recommended by Donavin to reduce the rubbing since the front height was maxed out. Remember I am running a slightly taller wheel/tire set up. I installed the stiffer springs today (don't have a picture of the new height yet) and love the feel of the new springs and rubbing is gone (at least on local back roads) until I have a chance to check on my familiar daily drive in the 3-4 bad spots on the highway. Crap this kit is so easy to switch out springs.

1. remove rear only wheels, loosen inner 18mm bolt for the lower rear camber arm, remove and replace spring, reinstall camber arm bolt, adjust height if needed.
2. 17mm socket, loosen the lower adjustment bolt maximally, pull spring out and replace with new, tighten adjustment bolt.
3. test drive, measure, adjust if necessary.

Also found passenger side rear upper custom camber arm end links to be worn and have play. These are the MikeR arms with QA1 stainless end links too. These are noisy and squeaky but very stout and easy to adjust. I have about 46K miles on these now. I guess I get to call Donavin about some camber arms now!
