I'm getting Ground Control coilovers installed in about a week. Can somebody tell me what is the best level to ride with them on. Which looks best and which is most comfortable? The ground controls adjust from 1"-3". Any help will be appreciated. Also, is it possible for me to install them myself, and do I need an alignment after i get them installed. Thanks.

Yes you can install them yourself. If you are a novice, i'd suggest picking up a factory manual or a haynes manual. But with a properly stocked tool box it will be a little tough physically but very doable.

Drop the car about 1 to 1.5" from stock ride height --
That should be plenty to make the ugly wheel gap go away --

Don't go with Tokikos -- I'd suggest Koni's -- much better spring damping and rebound for the ride quality --

If you slam it way low, then you might as well forget about ride quality no matter what you try --
Depending on whether you go with 15", 16", or 17" wheels will determine your ride quality threshold --

Be prepared for interior rattles --
