But the only thing about Ground Control is that the handling does kinda take a hit.
I can't speak for mxs, but my GC's handle just fine. What you have to remember is that one part doesn't necissarily make or break a car's handling ability. It's how all the suspension parts (and even the wheels/tires) work together.

HUH? I've driven several cars on Ground Controls and that couldn't be further from the truth. Handled like crap, huh? what spring rates did you have, and what shocks were you using? I'm sure I could set up some Ground Controls to handle like crap, I'll get 700# fronts and 200# rears, and put them on some blown Tokicos. And I'll drop it so much that there is no suspension travel, and the car is riding on the bump stops. Then I can blame the manufacturer!

I'm sorry man, but mxs is right, that sounds like a really ignorant comment. I'm sure your rates were wrong or something else was, cuz I have heard NOTHING but pretty much worship about Ground Controls until now.
