not to be rude, but what is your reason for not wanting coilovers??

The adjustability that coilovers have vs. springs is a huge advantage IMO

you sure are smart , anything dumped on stock shocks will bounce around all over the place , doesnt mean its not a good product.

compared to your "race" springs , they do things lowering springs cant , not to mention you are using a standard Eibach spring and can change out spring rates at will.

all I'm saying is you're wrong on your opinion of GC and you need to learn some grammar.

Keep in mind that Ground Control uses *Eibach* springs. Those are one of the two you asked for our opinion on. So we gave it. Ground Control's are cheap in price yes (who doesn't want that), but not in build quality. Also, if you read up about them, you'd notice they come w/a lifetime guarantee..racing/autox/street whatever the use, no ?'s asked.

The most important thing about the GC is adjustability...Too bouncy, raise em a bit, turn your dampers down, or get different rates.. too soft, get higher rates etc..

I know you think we are just patronizing you, but we are not. "listen to your elders" Is what you have probobly heard before, and Dr. Cortez is a stand up guy, and has no reason to steer you wrong.

I've been thru many different setups on my trackcar and my daily driver , trust me , for the money GC's and upgraded shocks cant be beat.
