Ground Control Coil-over Kit used only 1 month and in great condition. I removed the kit because I moved to Boston and the roads here in the city are really rough. The kit was used with koni sports, which made the car feel like it was on rails. The kit is height adjustable and uses Eibach ERS springs. When I ordered the kit I specified street spring rates, but I am unsure of the exact numbers. It should noted that the springs are quite comfortable on the street and adjusting the height with the supplied key is easily done without removing the wheels. Everything in the pictures (if they upload correctly) are included: Coil-over kit w/ springs, key, custom front bump stops, washers and upper and lower seats, instructions and stickers. $300 /shipping included - firm (packed & bubble wrapped) Check out http://www.ground-control.com for additional specs. Thanks, Jon __________________

maurolin, According to the ground-control website, the kit is not recommended for use with bilstein shocks. Exactly why I'm not sure. Also, you would have to contact ground-control directly to see if the spring rates would compensate for the added weight of a 6cyl engine. Here is a link to the Ti coil-over kit, which should give you a few more specs. http://www.ground-control-store.com/...hp/II=123/CA=9 If you are still interested, please post your e-mail address so that I may contact you privately with payment information. Thanks for your interest, -Jon __________________

You are welcome to try. The front sleeves won't fit the Bilstein struts. SL Quote: | Originally Posted by mischief they will work with the stock shocks why wount they work with bilstien
