Default Ground Control coilovers

I am in talks with GC and they would need someone in the Sacramento, CA area to go to the shop to be the guinea pig. I would do it, but I'm in NY. Anyone here that would be up to this?

Beats me. Its a win win. A few more mpg, better handling, reduces the wheel gap.

and it's adjustable height too. plus you can mix and match spring rates for your needs. Ground Control is a very good company and have been around the race scene for years. They also use eibach springs.

with all the insight's being in California, I cant believe no one has jumped on this offer. I've been wanting something like this for my insight for a long time, I sort of want to drive to CA to make this happen, but I know its not practical for me either...

I'm about 120 miles away. I might be able to do it in a couple of weeks.

Do they need to keep the car or just check it out while you wait.

probably for the 2010 insight, or the CR-Z, but nothing for the original Insight.

If they only need the car to check the size of the original spring, ask if that can be done on a Saturday.
