Opinions on Coil Overs

[destruckeclipse]

I've searched and read and have come to a decision. I want the adjustable height that comes with coilovers. Now, I have come across this pair, looks good so I just need some input on it. Keep in mind these will only be on for a year at most, before I go all out and buy a real performance driven setup.

I just need to be able to adjust my height for daily driving, cause right now with a 2"+ drop, it is hard to get around much. I also like the fact I can drop it back when I want to go cruising / picture taking. Please, any info would be greatful. Any better places I can get this, or even cheaper place would be great also.

I have had a set of Ground Control coil overs wrapped around a set of Tokico Illuminas with their front upper mounts since the first of 99. Great setup, of course not as good as a set of Tein Flex. However, at the time the Teins where running about $1800 compaired to the $900 I spent. If I had to do it over today I would go with the Tein setup from the start and bypass any kit.

Ground Control makes a good product though.

I am firm lover of GC coilovers and Koni sport shocks. Awesome quality and good track and street maners.

Also don't forget every time you raise and lower your suspension you change the suspension geometry. Your best to set it and forget. Get an alignment and call it a day.

i recommend getting the whole deal, mite cost u around 1200$ but its worth it, just get the real suspension, ive heard so many times how many problems people have with coilovers.

Thanks for the replies. I forgot to mention that I will be putting these on some Tokico Illumina's, not stock shocks.

really, the ground controls should be enough. at most you may want to get better struts/shocks, but the ground control pieces are very nice.
