I have Ground Control coilovers, and they are the only spring like that i would recommend, they arent bad if you are looking for the adjustability of a coilover system. But beware, you must buy a good adjustable shock. My car rides like a dream on GC and AGX's.

Jeff, where did you get your GC? So if i dont get a shock like AGX's and i got like GR2's would the coilovers just blow out the shocks or would it just ride harsh? Im not really looking for a greatest ride quality. I dont mind a harsh ride as im allready riding on blow shocks. How much were your GC's?

I heard from nealoc that GR2's blew on his GC and he bought AGX and they have been fine for 1.5 years. You will need a bench grinder for the AGX, because there is a little portion that needs grinded to get the coilover sleeve on. If you want to avoid grinding it, get illumina's or koni yellows. However, there is a group deal for AGX's for 370 shipped, which i got in on... I think it ends the 1st so hurry!
I got my GC used on ebay for 150, I was lucky. They sell on there for about 325-350 new, but every once in a while I will see used ones up for sale.... its all luck. Any questions just contact me....

it will function like GC, but weapon-r is basically your generic pepboy kinda stuff. GC colluded with eibach and spent tons of money to come up with a sleeve system for our cars, whereas weapon-r didnt..... its your comfort level/quality level. When it comes to suspension, a very delicate part of the car, I wouldnt be cheap....

i hate being a poor poor high school student. Do you know where i can find Ground Controls for cheap? maybe a sightly used set? Say i can afford the coilovers. After there installed would i need a camber kit? My friend tells me i would need one if i install coilovers.
