as stiff as you want them to be, custom spring rates.

http://www.grond-control.com There is a number on the page you call to order. They do not take online orders to better serve your interests.

I was GC before and I have Skunk 2 now and I think they are better than the GC thinking about beyond and getting custom Spoon springs with set spring rates

say what? punctuation/grammar is your friend.

I don't see how Skunk2 coilovers could be better than GC's, especially the custom-fit Koni GC's.

i ran GC's with my stock shocks for awhile and they were pretty stiff for having stock struts, didnt last long but hey. GC uses eibach springs, those custom spring rates are pricey though, about 75 bucks a spring, but well worth it.

haha patrick... ur funny bro.. every GC thread or KONI thread that post's up, i see you in it.. lol..

dont worry, im the same with my tein's and illumina's


to origional poster, stiffness has to do with your shocks/struts and the spring rates you buy, no matter what brand, well almost no matter what brand you get, as long as they have the spring rates you want, you'll be fine and have a nice stiff ride..

you just gota pair up a spring with a good strut, i.e. GC KONI, TEIN illumina, tein KONI, GC ILLUMINA.. EIBACH KONI, EIBACH AGX, EIBACH ILLUMINA.. etc. etc..

Why do you want it so stiff? Do you use your car for anything besides daily driving? If not, then really stiff is a waste of money.
