3) why did you put two different kinds of struts on it? does it have any advantages?
4) do you know if the ground control warranty is transferable?
5) how hard was it (please don't be modest) to mod the coil overs onto the struts just in case i blow one in the future?

shipping to 30102

and that is pretty much it thanks for your time
well the ride is stiff, it is best set up for handling, if you intend to race the car or do mountain cruns through some twisty roads then this setup is for you, its not as comfortable as stock shocks or eibach/tockico blues setup. but the handling was awsome, i took member Keeloh one time in the car and took him around a few corners, he was surprized how much it gripped the road over stock, but not to mention i also did have a dutch bar installed and a rear strut bar and a lower tie bar.

as far as why blues in rear and illuminas in front, the illuminas are 2nd gen front struts, and they bolt right up in the 1st gen, but the rear 2nd gen illuminas dont bolt up in the rear with out modifiyin, so i used 1st gen rear blues.

as for modding the strut, you will have to cut the stock springg purche off, and grind a little on the shock ring to slide the coil over sleeve, other than that thats all you need to do, and for the rear you slide that black spacer and put it on the new shock. and should have no problem putting new shocks later on.

as for warrenty, i dont have the original box or paper work on the springs to tell you the truth.
