opinions on ground control coilovers

I was curious as to which suspension setup to get.
A friend recommended ground control but I havent heard
much about them on here. I would like to get Eibachs with
KYB. I believe they would drop a little more than
ground control. Any info would be much appreciated.

Ground Control coilovers are adjustable with up to 3 inches of drop...Eibachs wont go lower. Actually the ground controls have Eibach springs on them also.

Thanks for the speedy reply. I think I will go with
ground control. Is $375 a good price or does anyone
know where I could get them cheaper? Thanks again.

I still have Ground Control on stock shocks.. NO problem at all.. But you need to cut the shock plate because the instruction say.. So yes $375 are good price for Ground Control.. I bought it for $380 include shipping from my friend's performance shop.. He match the price but the shipping is different.. Oh well

he said he wanted to either get ground control coilovers or eibach + KYB... i thought maybe he was not aware that GCs are not a true coilover system in that GCs only replace the springs of the car (and not the shocks)... and so if he was gonna get aftermarket shocks with eibachs.. he might need them as well for GCs..
jus thought i'd make it clear for him in case that affects his decision...

I dont know a lot about suspension, but thanks for
clearing that up. I should get GC with KYB. Everyone
on here seems to say that the KYB's are good, but I
havent seen much talk about the GC. Those two
sound like a good combo though. Thanks for all the
help everyone.
