those w/ GC's
ok i searched and read sum stuff on the Ground Controls, most ppl saying that they ride well/ok but they squeek and stuff...how loud is the squeeking? i want to go from progress to GC maybe cuz progress isnt low enough for me anymore...also, has anybody matched up GC and kyb-agx, and is it possible?

I've got the GC's. I have no experience with any other coils, but they are fairly stiff. I have the adjustable coil overs and my front end is all the way down and my rear is all the way up- the Max sits kinda weird to begin with. But when I put the 19"s on, it rides like crap- between my 35 series tires and stiff shocks, I sometimes get motion sickness.....for real.

Well I just put the Ground Controls in my car and I dont have any that squeak. The performance handling is good but all around driving through the city could become very bouncy. I have the front lowered until there is about 1 left from the bottom and the rear is about 1/2 from the bottom. I dont know how the ride whould be if I had changed them out for some Koni's or Tokico's. Yes I am on the stock struts for now but I plan on changing these out and getting some JIC or TIEN. Ill have to see which I like better.

im guessing your ride is bouncy cuz of stock struts...i got the same thing rite now...but kyb-agx should fix that

I would say the ride quality is more a function of high spring rate and low suspension travel than of the 35 series tire. You just can't expect much of a ride with so little travel on the shocks. Your ride would likely be much better with standard, progressive rate springs with less than 2" of lowering but then you might not like the ride height! Its a trade off though.

I'm planning to install some 18s with Eibach pro-kits and see how they are on stock struts. Probably as low as I'll need for now. Good luck whichever way you go!
