Ground Control / Unbalanced Engineering

Any one have any experience in dealing with these vendors?

I am considering a purchase of springs, panhard bar, weight jacks etc.

I bought the Ground-Control front and rear adjustable weight jack setup and their camber plates. Everything was high quality and no hassles.I would recommend them.

What do you use your car for?


How do the weight jacks install and work?


How about the camber plates? How much more camber can I gain?

I called ground control, however the person that I spoke with did not instill confidence.

I have the unbalanced engineering heim LCAs and PHR. They work great. Those guys are local to me and they run on the NASA circuit with their gear. There are many guys here in socal they have their gear installed. their customer service is great as well.

I use it for street driving and show. I bought the kit that does not require welding. The front is a weight jack setup that is adjusted with a 1/2 drive ratchet from the bottom side of the a arm. The rear looks close to a coil-over setup,a threaded adjuster sets where the stock spring was positioned. Thread the adjusting nut up or down to your desired height. As far as the camber plates go I do not know how much more camber you can get, I bought these to get rid of the factory rubber pieces that were worn out plus they give you some extra shock travel if your car is lowered. Hope this helps.

I have the Ground Control Caster/Camber Adjusters and Upper Stress Bar (Strut Tower Brace).
Very happy with the quality.
Mainly wanted the increased travel and steel bearings in the adjusters, plus car's very low and wanted less negative camber to save my tires a little. (car's street driven)
At -1.5 deg camber, +5.5 deg caster.
Guy that aligned my frontend runs in NASA and was very familiar with the Ground Control units.
