    HELP! Installing ground control!

    I put the ground control suspension setup in my car with the eibach springs and the kyb struts and it didn't lower the car?! Do the long springs go in the front then? I thought the longer springs go on the rear struts because they are longer than the front. Am I supposed to have the shorter spings on the back???

    WRONG!! perhaps they do on an 8g ( I doubt it highly) but...

    The longer, skinnier springs go in the front bro; the shorter fatter one's go in the back.

    I would think that a company as profound as GC would have given instruction as far as which is which :?

    I have done the suspension on my 7g many times, holla if ya need anything.

    did you use a compressor to get the nut on the long springs or what

    for the stock ones, yes. i brought them to work with me and removed the
    strut mount to reuse for my new setup. But installing them, I didn't need the compressor.
    My only problem now is that the front is a little higher than the back and the adjuster is all the way down. I have another 2 inches I can drop in the rear but the front is all the way down. The kit said 3 inches and it only lowered the front about an inch?
