Ground control to major tom
Ground control to major tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground control to major tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may god's love be with you

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five,
Four, three, two, one, liftoff

This is ground control to major tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

This is major tom to ground control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell me wife I love her very much she knows

Ground control to major tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, major tom?
Can you hear me, major tom?
Can you hear me, major tom?
Can you....

Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do.

wow, thanks for the david bowie.

i'm probably going to be getting Ground Controls, but I'm not going to be running 16's or 17's. i'll probably be on my stock 14's for awhile.

REALLY weird posts tonight! That WAS probably Bowie's best tune ever. Did hondajunkie perhaps mean "ground effects"? Kancerr did you do that from memory? Kudos to you if you did!! I've heard the tune probably a hundred or more times and I couldn't possibly remember it perfectly! Good Job!

I was under the impression that there is one member here that's running GC sleeves. However I have yet to see pictures of the actual setup.

Anyway, going back to David Bowe, I think Ziggy Stardust is another good one.

Sorry it took so long for me to post pics. I hope some people are still interested in GROUND CONTROL. I am extreamly happy with their product.
This is the only pics I could find. Looks like they're rolling on 15's though...

Thoses are 16"s on their and I do not have any pictures of them on the front strut I will get some when i go back to my 16"s in a week or so. long term result is that I need aftermarket shocks now and is difficult to find someing that will work with my drop because it is about 2" to 2 1/2" on the rear I think in the next few months be buying two new springs for the rear that are 2" taller and a bit stiffer so I can raise the rear an 1" and maybe go with the T1rs. the springs for the rear are $60 for each side so not a real big cost.
