Ground Control - E36 Complete Driving School / Street Coilover Kit

Ground control is the leader in suspension value

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.
