Suspension question

Ok i am getting my rims at the end of this month and though i should buy the suspension next, I want coilovers but have head the ride is bad and its makes noises also i plan to add a body kit later so i thoug hight ajustibility would be good. Any way people have told me to go with springs. I was thinking of going with Ground COntrol Coilovers which are better those or Wepon R. (getting KYB SHOCKS NO MATTER WHAT I GET)

Help me with your input, thanks

I have GC's and after initial install the back was really loud, but I had a 0 finger gap, so it was damn low. Yesterday I raised it to about a 1.5~2 finger gap and wrapped the rear springs is wire wrap, and the whole thing got a lot quiter.

Re: Re: Suspension question

Partner forget what all other people post or say about Ground-Controls, coilovers are a great option unless you live in a city where potholes are everywhere. If you dont live in a city where there are many potholes knock yourself out. I was told by many people and talked out of not cuting my front springs many times. One day I got very frustrated and did it. I dont regret it at all I wish I would have done it sooner. As for coilovers you have the option to adjust up and down, as for me we have too many big bumpy roads and potholes here in New Orleans. My car car is dropped 2.1 in the front and 2 in the rear, you dont see me complaining like a girl and my shocks are at full stiff except the rears which are 75% stiff.
