I had them for a few months and then replaced them with the HKS coilovers. I've still got them lying around if your are interested in a used set. One thing to keep in mind is that when you jack the car up all the way the rear springs will fall out of place. It's kind of a pain in the ___. Aside from wanting a full coilover setup, that is one of the reasons I took them off. However, the ride is nice because they use linear springs in both the rear and front. If you like a very "performance" oriented spring rate (as in stiff) then you will like the way they feel. If height adjustability is very important to you and you want to go lower then the standard 2" spring drop then you might consider these adjustable springs. They drop 2.75" in both the front and rear. If your interested give me a PM.

I called GroundControl and they first said they didn't have a GroundControl kit. I was like "uh, okay." Then I went to their site and saw they had them in their database. I called them back and the guy was hesistent, but he said they were gonna redesign them. I think WRAITH had them on his Echo and the rear springs popped out while he was driving...

I had a set on my xB for about 8 months.
I'm selling the car in the next month or so and have them all cleaned up in my garage. They worked fine. I was very hesitant about them seeing as the springs are not anchored in the setup. I put 8" springs in the rear and had zero problems whatsoever. They only came out when the suspension was completely unloaded (ie: car jacked up or on a lift). I took every driveway and off camber transition without even a loose spring noise.
If you are interested in them let me know as I'll be letting these go REAL CHEAP.
