Delayed response - sue me. Ground Control is a fairly decent setup that fits without too many modifications - the most involved being the removal of the front spring perches and the welding of new mounts. As for height adjustment at events, be wary that VWs have a farily limited amount of suspension travel even with coilovers - most of this being dictated by the front control arms.
When I first installed coilovers, my goal was the "in the weeds" look. The car sat super low but handled like shit at the track. This was b/c the control arms pivoted upwards since the suspension was set so low. As the suspension was gradually raised to the point where the control arms were parallel to the ground, handling improved dramatically. This having been said, I'm currently running 400 lb F/350 lb R springs with Koni single adjustables. BSI Racing in FL offers a similar setup to Ground Control but apparently sells Konis that are adjustable for both compression and rebound. --- jimvish <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey everybody, I was looking at the Ground Control web site and saw > that > they have setups for A2's.
