If so how is the ride with those?
What other combinations u had?
Anything worth knowing?
I have a GC/Tokico and i dont like the ride quality.I think they are blown or something, every time i get on uneven road confitions they bottom out pretty hard. I just lowered it 1". Tire pressure its equal on all tires (34 Psi) and still this continues. So my final word is:
Tokicos wont handle ground control coilover if you ride on uneven roads, and even 1 inch drop its harmful for the shocks.
Thank for any help

Thank for any help <hr></blockquote>I have the gc/tokico and with 1.5 drop in the front and 1.75 in the rear. The ride is pretty good for street application and there is still tons of travel. I think that maybe u aren't used to a lowerd car cause if u have a lot of bad roads u might not have noticed how bad they are in stock suspension. being able to feel the road is a good thing but on bad road conditions it is a nightmare.

im planning on doing that setup....GC/Tokico Struts....but here in FL the roads are practicly flat....Soo i hope it will feel fine when i ride out!

hey MeXican-3 and nvrsrndr, when u ordered ur Ground Control...which one did you get? The one for the Escort or the MX3 one? I got my ZX2 Struts already. help me out peace

Like ProtegeSTS has said before, get the GC`s for the zx2, since the Mx3 strut seem to be narrower than the zx2. And also as a recommendation, do as ProSTS says and figure out what spring rate you want(how to determine that is beyond my knowledge) because the rate in the springs they send you are for racing purposes and are pretty stiff.
To give a little more information about road conditions, think of Mexicali as the location where they filmed the comet scene in "Armagedon".
Here we dont have pot holes, they would be better described as craters.
Personaly i didnt like how the tockicos performed, but consider i drive under extreme road conditions. When i was coming form San Diego to Mexicali, however, the roads were pretty flat and easy on my suspension and it performed quite well. I could take corners as fast as 110 MPH without loosing control or traction, but i simply cant use it on Mexicali where i drive daily because of the sh*tty roads. Feel free to ask anything

thanx Mex
