Default Ground Control perches

Anyone know if these can be used with Espelir springs? My car sits a little bit too low and I'm considering using these perches to raise it up a bit. They sell the perches and sleeves individually, but I'm wondering if my springs will be approximately the same length so I will be able to raise it.

Its not gonna work. The espilers are made to sit in the stock perch. GC springs have a flat bottom to rest on thier perch.

Ok, cool. Thanks for the replies. I need to find an inexpensive set of coilovers then. I heard most the Japanese dampers are crap. I want to keep the f/r pring rate ratios similar to stock. How are the H&R's?

If you already have perches($200 I think), then you can buy a set of springs from GC(Eibach) for another $200.

Not sure if you can knock the stock perches off the shock or not. I used Koni Yellows.
