There simply isn't a better way to get one proven system -in one
box- that works as well as a Ground Control Package for your BMW at
a price anyone can afford.
This kit with its higher avarage spring rates, shorter front damper
bodys and track ready valuing is intended for the serious
enthusiast who wants to street drive, but still regualrly hit the
track
Track junkies and HPDE addicts rejoice! A bolt on solution for
the E36s that's proven and includes Ground Control's excellent
front camber plates. This kit is slightly nosier than the street /
touring kit, but is more than capable of street driving.
For the street enthusiast who are sensitive to any mechanical
noise, we do recommend GC's "Street / Touring" kit
This kit includes the following: Image is shown for
example, product may vary slightly from image.
2 Koni single
adjustable struts
Complete Front Strut Housing - Fabricated from seamless DOM 1026
steel alloy tubing. High clearance swaybar bracket welded on.
Powder coated for protection and good looks.
Koni Custom Valved Single Adjustable Front Strut - Valving
developed by Ground Control, these custom struts are externally
adjustable from underneath the hood, even with the factory strut
brace. This strut is prepared for coilover use, and eliminates
machining of critical suspension components.
Ground Control Threaded Sleeves - This system is designed to
eliminate stress risers caused by machining notches into the strut
housing. Unlike other companies that claim superiority by cutting
threads into a critical component of the suspension, Ground Control
uses engineering common sense to maximize the strength of the
suspension.
Ground Control Adjustable Spring Perch - A unique design, that
uses an allen head bolt to clamp the single threaded perch into the
correct position. No secondary pieces are needed to "jam" the
threaded perch into position. This method of clamping onto the
threads also prevents sand, grit, and water from getting into the
threads, which is a common problem with jam nuts.
2 SHORT Koni single
adjustable rear shocks
Custom valved Koni Single Adjustable Rear Shocks - Preadjusted
to match rear spring rates using our shock dyno. "Top-adjust"
version, which adjusts from inside the trunk with no tools needed.
The rear shocks are custom built and valved by Koni to GC
specifications, and are shorter than standard 'Koni Sport'
shocks.
4 Eibach ERS springs,
driver school or track event rate
Eibach Springs - All popular street spring rates are available.
Ground Control springs are made by Eibach on German machines both
in the USA and in Germany, however all Eibach springs have a
lifetime guarantee against sagging, rate change, or any
manufacturing or material failure. Lifetime guarantee. Compare!
4 Ground Control bump
stops (made in Germany)
Ground Control Bump Stops - We do not just ask you to reuse your
stock bump. The stock bump stop is designed for stock suspension we
provide a bump stop designed to work with our suspension. These are
soft foam, same quality as OEM BMW parts, but made to our specs in
Germany. Our race bump stops are even different than our street
bump stops.
2 Rear Ride Height
Adjusters
Ground Control Rear Ride Height Adjustment Kit - Billet aluminum
threaded adjusters bolt on top of the rear control arm.
1 Pair front Camber
Plates
Ground Control Hybrid Plates use a proprietary upper perch
with a urethane spring insulator. More camber adjustment than
stock, caster adjustment, aircraft bearings, engraved with
calibrated degrees, with stainless steel reinforcement. Every
component is anodized or plated, including fasteners. Adds extra
travel to avoid excessive bottoming out, this is a very well
engineered product. The stainless steel reinforcement prevents
electrolysis between the steel fender and the aluminum camber
plate.
Camber and caster are separately adjustable by sliding the mounts,
without removing any components from the car. The priority of this
design is to allow fast, repeatable alignment changes at the
track.
The Ground Control camber plates feature two sets of bearings, a
proprietary bearing, made to our specs by Aurora in the USA, which
allows for articulation of the shock shaft. This spherical bearing
is very understressed, as the Ground Control design does NOT
support the weight of the car on the spherical bearing. Instead,
the weight of the car is supported by a completely separate
articulating needle bearing, which is also manufactured for Ground
Control in the USA!
1 Pair rear upper
shock mounts
Ground Control Rear Shock Mount - Billet aluminum, urethane
bushings, pre assembled. Includes gaskets and reinforcements.
