Archive WTB: Ground Control coilovers w/o springs (koni)

aklackner · Post by **aklackner** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 12:50 pm

I ended up purchasing a set of Koni sleeves and perches (details below in case it helps anyone else)

I'm looking to buy a set of the Ground Control coil-overs for my ITR.

I currently have H&R springs on Koni Yellow dampers but have a different setup that I'd like to try out that I can't get with Eiback springs. GC says they will only sell full kits with springs.

Anyone have a set of the the koni specific adjusters (sleeves & nuts) in good condition (no functional damage) they'd like to sell me?

Alternately if any ITRCA\EXPO vendors have a good deal on a the full kit please pm me and I'll just keep the springs as another spare option.

thanks,

Alan

If I were you, I would buy some brand new Koni sleeves. I think they are better quality than GC anyway. Do some research and find the part number you need for your application.

here's a link for a Koni brand sleeve (this is an example, I am not sure what part # you need)

@Pathidden Thanks, exactly what I was looking for.

According to application guide the 30 series sleeves are the right diameter for the koni yellow inserts (ITR).

Edit - Turned out these are the wrong parts correct parts for the ITR Koni shocks are begin 80 and unfortunately have been discontinued. -
I ordered a set of sleeves and seats (30.0000.0005 and 30.0000.0006) for ~$200.

It's still going to be a while before I get my ITR all together but I'm excited to give these a try.

How do the sleeves install on the konis? Do they just slide down onto the perch thing?

It looks like they'll go on the same as GC koni specific kit; slide over the snap ring partially and sit directly on that.

This has some detailed picks of the GC kit.
