The last piece of my highly expensive suspension puzzle!

Ground Control Coilovers ordered from Jason @ Hypermotive, should be killer once they get installed!

Looking at either tomorrow after work or this weekend install and an alignment shortly after, more pics will ensue.

Wish I would've done this with the front, but I started in a hurry.


Rear fender gap :/

Everything said in done, the ride is very firm, but not harsh.
Corners are much more manageable, body roll is nearly eliminated, and brake dive is non-existent.
Car from a 30 roll now dead hooks on street tires, I am more than satisfied!!
If anyone has any questions regarding this install feel free to ask here or PM me, I did this install in my garage with hand tools, an electric impact gun, a Pittsburgh 3-ton low profile long reach jack, and in 3 hours!
Nothing was difficult about the install, everything was very straightforward.
Once again big thanks to Jason(Jayman33) for getting this together for all of me, it all came together, and the best part? it was all under 3k!

Ride is very firm, but not harsh, I love it.
Corners I used to be sketch taking at 40-50 I can now take with ease at 60+, I love it!
Very worth the trouble and money.

Daniel I am glad to see how small of a world it is here. I never imagined I would run into you on SVTp. Man how is the 13' treating you? I loved your old 11' sterling grey track pack. Still thank you for helping me decide on my track pack, ever since that first ride in the grey one. I miss okc and the cruises. I see you have made progress on her! You still driving the Mazda as a daily?
