Default Ground Control Coilovers

Has anyone ever had experience with Ground Control Coilovers? I was trying to install them today and when I tried to install the front, the sleeves wouldn't fit over the front shocks/struts. Has anyone installed these with stock shocks? My car is sitting on stands at the moment. Any help would be great!

Did you tell them the type of shock you are running? When you order them, you have to tell them what you are running, so they can make sure that they fit... I'm guessing this is just the coil-over conversion kit.

Make sure you are using a kit intended to work with stock shocks. They have kits that fit koni, sach, boge, or stock.

GC kits are compatible with koni and stock shocks but I think they require you to grind off the flanges, etc.

Thanks for the replies. I actually went ahead and called Ground Control for this. They told me to remove a plastic / rubber cap that says 'Do Not Open' on it...
