    I have a complete coil over set up, front and rear, for a GC car. They are used but in good shape. New price is 399.99 according to the Ground Control website. Asking 200.00

    PM me or reply if you are interested.

    Unfortunately, I can't find any numbers on the springs that I can determine are spring rates. However, the words Ground Control and Eibach are on the springs and that leads me to the conclusion that it is the kit I mentioned.

    yea those r Ground controls, but u can also order special springs rates with any ground control set up... but usually they have one "regular" set up with certian spring rates.

    If you tell me how I can determine that, I will be happy to do so. Do I need to measure the free length?

    There should be a serial number on the spring.
    Ground control uses standard length coil over springs... spring length will have nothing to do with spring rate.

    i don't think the Ebiachs that come on GCs are actually labeled with spring rates, if they are though it'll probably be printed on the flat part of the spring at the top/bottom of it. otherwise, that serial number can be used to coralate in the eibach catalog.

    The numbers on the front spring are 47/99 and GC200.64.58. the rear is 39/99 and 0800.250.0250. The free length is 8 inches for all the springs. Let me know if you are still interested.

    No, they're not. Ground Control makes your basic set of coil over/lowering springs. They aren't off-road or rally in any way.

    They do appear to make the GC impreza coilovers in three lengths, 7", 8", and 9", but the difference, I don't know.

    GC makes a generally good product.

    No rush from my side. I'm busy this week with the auto show. If it is closer/easier, I can bring them to the auto show.
