I have a set of older ground controls here that I bought used. One of the sleeves was damaged by the spring moving around (guy had the car set up SUPER low...) so I bought a new one. The new sleeve is quite a bit diferent than the older one, to help cure problems with the sleeve "mushrooming" out. Basically what I'm trying to say is that GC has put a lot more engineering into their systems. They seem simple at first, but when you look closer the differences start to show. Just browse their web site some time; they do some heavy duty R&D on the stuff they manufacture and sell.
Another thing to consider is the quality of the springs that the "r-active" kit uses. I'm sure they are bargain basement springs, perhaps not even linear springs. Cheaper springs will have more of a tendency to "sag" after time. GC's use eibach SRS springs, which are used in all different types of racing. They have a proven track record. _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
