Struts are highly recommended any time you drop. Camber plates shouldn't be necessary unless you plan on a really extreme drop (Around 2+")

Ground Control is springs only.

A complete coilover system is both springs and shocks combined.

Let me know if you want a set of lightly used GC coilovers.

no $hit.... so if i get the illuminas and these GC coilovers then i have a fully adjustable suspension? that would be a cheap alternative to buying the whole coilover system..for $1000+ no?
