ground control coil-overs

how low can you comfortably go with GC coil overs? is it worth it compared to just a static drop with tein s tech's? theyre going to go into my fiance's daily driver so i dont want them to be too harsh, but the car definately needs a drop.

What's going on w/the car in your sig? Ground controls are usually stiff, but you can request softer ones. Personally I'd get GC for 2 reasons: 1) stiffer suspension, or tweaking it for track 2) adjustability for winter/summer. Right now, I'm ok w/my Sprint springs, but if i get more hardcore w/hotlapping, I'd consider GC as a cheap alternative to full coilovers. And in SoCal, it doesn't really snow unless I wanna go snowboarding, in which I wouldn't take my Maxima.

How about some Tokico Illuminas coupled with some Eibachs? Friend just got a fresh set for his 98 SE, and they are pretty nice. Level 1 is quite comfortable, and at Level 5 performs really well, but of course not the smoothest ride around.

i would just like something adjustable so that it can have it low during the summer and raise it up some wintertime. its going to be my girl's car, so hydro's or air is out of the question.
