Default Coil over help......

Ok heres the deal. I am looking to buy coilovers this weekend and I am not sure of what I should get into. My options are: Ground controls, skunk2's, and for shocks my options are:KYB agx's or Tokico Illuminas OR the final option: A set of Tein basics. Let me know what you guys think I need help badly!!!!

It's gonna be for street use. I dont need it super slammed just want to rid myself of some of the tire gap that I have from my sprint springs.

well..teins are dope..i dunno how low they go. i'd go with the skunk2's ( a little stiff ) and a set of konis or tokicos...but eventually they might run up the same price as a set of teins...but its all upto your preference..ive heard teins ride pretty decent and so do GCS...sometimes an all in one set up like teins does the job right...but again, its all your preferences and how much you wanna spend!

I have one of those "entry level" full coilover kits (apexi ws) and I am very happy with it. Ride comfort is close to stock, but it is just stiff enough to provide noticeable stability and less rolling feel in turns.

I do think if I were to auto-x, I would rather go with GC's and koni adj. shocks. Or a more aggressive, track oriented coilover kit.

In the end, if Tein is as good as people say, I don't think you will be disappointed with them.
