No problem. I'm only 19 and this is also my first ever car so I am still learning as well but who isn't? lol. The following are some pictures from what Ground Control gave me for instructions. The bold outlined places is the bump stop. You actually have to cut these during installation to allow for the vehicle to be fully dropped 3". The place to cut is the bold dotted lines. Hopefully that helps more then me trying to explain it lol.
Snapped a quick pic of the coils themselves too.
Yea I am yet to find any. I meant it as a reference to that particular product. Really the only other struts would be with a complete coil over system such as the Tein Basic or Super Street. Another would be the K-Sports but you are right, the KYB's are really our only option for just the component strut.

HEY STOCKLEY, i was looking at those coloiver sleeves aswell. Can you upload some pics with them on your RA? Im interested in seeing how they look, BTW how is the performance on them??
Hopefully I'll have the ground controls in this weekend coming. I had to soak my car in a penetrating lubricant this weekend and I'll do it again probably today, wednesday and again friday just to be sure I don't completely wreak my RA. As long as everything goes as planned this week then I should be making a post maybe Sunday coming or the following Monday showing everything. Unfortunately I had to put my winter rims & tires on last weekend because I got a flat on my summers and said screw getting new tires now, plus we are starting to get a lot of ice and little bit of snow, so the pics will be of the car on some Firestone Winterforces lol.
I'm gonna have it fully up because its winter but I'd say I will slam it just for a picture to show tuckage (hopefully a good bit). I know for a fact right now that ride comfort is gonna drop dramatically. Eibach made these springs to fit the Ground Control sleeves and because they are so small, the constant on them is ridiculous. This also means that they can be driven into resonance easier but I don't expect to much oscillation from them because the shocks will dampen it.
ran into a snag with the driver side rear, needs to get the strut bolt, sleeve for the bushing (or the whole bushing depending on how it is sold) and the top nut for the swaybar end link. Should be about another 30 mins of work tops. I got most of the post written up so hopefully I will have those parts today and I will make the thread tonight. If I don't get the parts well I'll probably make the thread anyways cause I got everything else done.
Here's a link to the thread in case you have not seen it yet. It is really just an install/how-to thread but I will be posting up a few pictures of the height range (GC says -0.5" to -3.0") and a review of them so far (which is somewhat mentioned in the thread already). I'll probably just post it in the current thread, rather then making a new one in the suspension section.
Ground Control Install
Hopefully this will clear up a few things about the actual install process.
