Ground Control. Quite a few people I know have had problems w/ the Skunk coilovers.

Would you go with GC (and upgraded shocks) or some *real* coilovers if all you were doing was hard street driving?

I have the GC's and I wouldn't trade em for anything else. I don't really know much about the Koni's, but I have KYB's all the way around, and I love them to. Adjustables up front and regulars in the back.

If they're scraping like mad **** then why won't they raise their car up?

I've said it before and I will say it again.
NEX Coilovers people. $ for $ they cannot be beat.
You know what they say, once you go NEX you'll never go back.
