Default Ground Control Suspension Kits!!!

I just spoke with Ground Control and can honestly say that there are going to be a lot of happy Crossfire owners. What I know so far is there will be something for everyone, at prices that are going to be ridiculously reasonable. I don't have hard numbers yet but the soft numbers we discussed were very attractive.
I can also tell you that they will be selling several kits. One kit for the guys that have the yellow konis currently and also a more aggressive kit with full on race konis and stiffer springs.
In order to insure that Ground Control has enough stock on hand I'd like to get a list compiled of who is interested. The last thing I, and Ground Control want is 100 people order kits and only 50 are available at launch. I want to make sure everyone gets one if they want one. Since I have no idea how to compile a list could I get some help from a Mod. setting one up. I have no idea how to add people to said list.

Just go to your first post and hit "Edit". Add numbers like

1)
2)
3)
etc.

As people respond to be put on the list, just go to your first post again and edit it as necessary . . . Please add me to the list

Yes, what he said ^^^. I have trimmed down SRT springs, K-macs front and rear, and the yellow Konis; Will I have to order a full "kit", or will they be selling a' la carte? My immediate need is adjustable rear swaybar links. Not interested in the full race package. (yet! lol)

I've got to see what's available first but I'm likely in for a full race set up. Well, if I can get her started.

Les you will for sure need the full race kit, and believe me, the price is damn reasonable.

We should have the full race set up on our car for the Feb 8th event at Chuckwalla. I'll let everyone know my thoughts along with some good video.

Also I think Tommy is getting the full race set on his car which will be street driven I believe.

It will see occasional street use, but am planning on making it a track duty ride.

I'd be interested in an "aggressive street" kit for a stock car, something appropriate for SCCA Solo in a "street" class (appears to fit in CS, correct ?) Nor sure about a rear sway bar with IRS. Any opinions ? Might mention I like oversteer in an autocross car. Have to feed the squirrel.

How does it do against a Miata ?

In SCCA autocross stock class I was never up against Miata's, but in the Super Street Modified class, a fully prepped, turbo'd Miata, will Own. If Ground Control can come up with parts to overcome that, I'm in.

The NA Crossfire is in D Street, which means there are no Miatas in the class. You can't change the springs in Street class. Also, only one sway bar can be changed.

Still need to see the walk after all the talk. Smells too much like the Begi turbo fiasco. At least with the SS grills we saw the actual product fitted to our cars and got an actual price. Only then did everyone commit. At least give us some idea of what we are dealing with here. Telling us there will be "something for everyone" doesn't say squat! Just from looking at their other "kits" it looks like they just slap a coil on a Koni shock and call it a coilover @ twice the cost. At least prove me wrong by dishing out some intelligent info on what they propose to offer, like giving us an idea of the "soft numbers"!
