FYI, Ground-Control offerings for the S550

[Agent_S550]

That's great. I plan on being ready to buy/install in the next month or two so the timeline should work out wonderful. I've had some of GC's parts before for other types of cars and I can say best bang for the buck I've seen in the market. I know it'll serve me well.

Can anyone verify whether the shocks and struts used are mono- or twin-tube?

Koni yellows are twin tube.

Does anyone know the motion ratios of both the S550's front and rear suspensions? Would be easier to calculate the appropriate wheel rates to obtain matched springs.

 

[Nick610s]

They took measurements of my car to calculate that while I was there, at least for the rear of the car. I believe the fronts would be a 1:1 or close since the strut is mounted directly to the knuckle at the furthest point out it can be. They didn't have the calculations done before I left for the rear though.

Is this going to be a true coilover for the rear?

IIRC, the front is ~1 (typical for Mac strut) and the rear is ~0.3.

Rear springs and ride height adjusters are located in the factory location.


The GC system is in the final steps before going on sale, however GC camber/caster plates are ready for immediate shipping.

Hey Trevor, long time user of GC's stuff here and absolutely loved them. I am interested in this kit for my S550 and can't wait to hear your pricing on the kit! I wish I was near you guys so I could help with the T&E on this stuff as someone who autocrosses very regularly!

Are you guys planning on doing a set of just camber plates like you did for the S197's and offer the Caster/Camber setup as an "improved" version?

Any plans on doing double adjustables in those inserts? If so, when you get pricing can you let me know what it'd be? I think the S197's were in the $2200 range from the $1650 for the standard singles kit.

Cheers and keep up the good work!

If I was going strictly autox/track for this car I would go up, and I would probably run 600lb in the front but I am not. We are going to test with the 950's on Tuesday to see if that changes the rear in any noticeable way. I still have to maintain some comfort for DD.

You have to also weigh in the weight bias of this car too, f/r 53-47 as ford puts it but I've seen f/r 54-46 in the autox section. We'll see how it feels.

Video of install and testing below!

Pricing on the complete system should be announced this week, and I'll shoot you the link as soon as its ready. We'll have single and double adjustable damper options available as well.

The camber plates are already available, and I've attached the link below.
