Ground Control is the manufacturer, Sleeves are the threads that make coilovers adjustable in height. The sleeves are 2.5" diameter, and Eibach ERS coils are 2.5" diameter x 8" height (many heights and spring rates available).

Perches are what the coils sit on. In this case it's what the sleeve sits on.

Modified stock perches.... zero dollar (Husband Labor)
Sleeves.... $100 for all four
ERS coils.... 60 each x four = 240
for a grand total a Lasgnaga dinner and $340.

One thing you should know about this setup is.... it's fully adjustable height, but since the struts are still stock, the current height only allows 2" of travel, so if you hit that cigarette butt in the middle of the road, it's a rough ride.
