Chuck Mathis at IT FestivalSPRING KITS by GC logo
This spring kit allows the option to customize the ride height of your Volkswagen. Used for years on race cars to balance weight distribution, Ground Control spring kits have been adapted for street use. Most other spring kits offer only one set ride height when installed. Our unique design allows for easy adjustment. Simply lift the corner(s) that you wish to adjust and spin the adjustable spring seat up or down to raise or lower the vehicle. Ground Control spring kits are also designed to be used with either stock or aftermarket shocks.

HARDWARE
Ground Control suspension kits offer the highest quality components available. Coil Over Kit
Springs: We are pleased to announce that Eibach Springs has chosen Ground Control Systems as the west coast distributor for their ERS (Eibach Race Spring) line of springs. All of our ride height adjustable kits now exclusively feature Eibach Springs . All racing spring rates are available as well as a new custom made street spring. This street spring is barrel-shaped to allow for a more suitable street spring rate while retaining sufficient spring travel. All Eibach Springs offer a lifetime warranty against spring rate change and sagging.
Adjusters: All adjusters consist of a threaded sleeve and adjustable spring seat and are made using 6061-T6 billet aluminum; anodized for greater durability and appearance. The threads on the adjusters are square cut which locks the adjustable spring seat in place under load. For further precaution, a set screw in the adjustable spring seat can be used to secure adjuster. The aluminum top hats have been custom made to adapt the small diameter springs to Volkswagen stock upper mounts. Top hats are also made of high strength 6061-T6 billet aluminum.

ADJUSTABLE CAMBER/CASTER PLATES
Designed by Ground Control Systems, our camber/caster plates are constructed of 7075-T6 billet aluminum and allow for multi-axis adjustment. Primarily for racing applications, the camber/caster plates give maximum negative camber as well as increased travel and rigidity. Camber/caster plates must be used with a 2 ½ inch ID spring and cutting of the strut tower is necessary.

  Camber/Caster Plate Kit Price     $ 265 pair (front only)


* Race Package Price: With the purchase of any (4) shocks, sway bars, control arm bushings, a Ground Control spring kit, and camber/caster plates, we’ll take 10% off the total price (no exclusions).

A NOTE ABOUT ORDERING OUR PRODUCTS

ALL of our kits, components and products are assembled for YOUR car.   We do not sell universal suspension kits, every order is treated as a different car and driver combination.  This is the reason that we cannot do online sales.   When you call, you will speak with a person who is experienced in suspension and racing, and your order will be treated with the same amount of care and respect that you have for your project.   In essence, your project is our project.  We have a huge inventory of parts that we use to assemble various suspension systems, and we use our in-house machining capabilities for the custom work that is sometimes needed for a suspension system.
