Just post up what brand name you have and how the ride is.... Bumpy or Smooth.....
 
The coil overz im using are Ground Control (GC). The ride is soooooooo smooooooth. GC all the way...but it also depends on the shocks, tires, and strut to know how smooth or bumpy your ride is. I have a combo of Tokico Performance Shocks, Yokohama Parada Spec2, Extreme Motosports Strut (front and rear), and GC...I dont think my ride can be any smoother.
 
Eibach sport line springs with KYG shocks... much better ride than i had with coil overs...
 
i'm running TEIN, VERY VERY VERY NICE...orignally wanted the apex-i N1's but they don't make them for 2gs....
 
I cut my springs to drop it 1 1/2 inches,, and installed kyb's to stiffen things up, rides like stock but handles like a race car. spent 75 bucks each car.

That seriously messes up your suspension geometry. You'd be amazed at your handling improvement if you swapped out your ghetto cut coils and but some Eibach's on there.
 
Has anyone done the coil over upgrade and wished they hadn't or wish that they had gone with different ones? I had read some where that Eibach GC sag after a while. Because of this I was going to possibly go with Skunk 2's or somehting a little stronger. Any feed back would be nice.
 
Onsoku lowering springs (2" drop) with Tokico Blues. She's rolling on Enkei 5+'s wrapped in 235/45/17 Yokohama Avid H4's. Ride feels no diifferent than stock, accept when I'm hitting curves at 20 or 30 MPH faster than normal.:)
 
Illuminas + Sportlines, Kumho 225/40/18s. With the Illuminas on 5 all around it handles insanely well, but for daily driving I run 3 up front, 4 in the rear, which still handles really well, I'm not all that enthused about the ride quality though, then again Charlotte has A LOT of potholes.
 
Koni adjustables and eibach pro kit, dropped maybe and 1-1.5 inches.
Someone in this forum recommended it to me, if I didnt mind spending the money. They were worth every penny, rides like its on rails. The ride height also helps me keep my sleeper status, it makes the car look alot cleaner. Thanks to whoever gave me the tip.
 
i just ordered some KYB AGX's w/ eibach Pro kit springs.(hopefully have them within a week)

just something to hold off till i get my JIC's. also have ST full swaybar set going on.

stock wheels... getting new tires this week hopefully.

How many coils did you have to take?
How long have you been running the KYBs? Any probs?
Are they AGX or non-adjustable?

Thanks!
