Still haven't made up your mind yet? You've been asking about what springs/coilovers to get since early this year.

F Ground Controls...those are crap.

$1150 for the Tein SS coilovers is a pretty decent price. If somebody can get a group deal going, I'd probably get in on that.

Do the math...GC coilover sleeves and a set of adjustable shocks won't be a cheap combo either. It's a harsh ride. Coilover sleeves were never a good idea, just a cheaper alternative to real coilovers. For a little more you can get true coilovers with better ride quality and adjustability.

I know you can really SLAM the car with JIC (the rear at leaST) saw it on a 2002 max, the guy was in a hurry when he put it on & his rear tires was almost touching the fender (he got big 18s) he said he could have go lower.
