Don't lie.

There are TONS of threads about this subject with answers. The Ground Control/Koni combination is popular as is a full coilover setup like D2/Funtion & Form/Ksport, etc.... You can't just say one is better than the other.

'Juss' is not a word.

you probably should get 4 new shocks instead of just one. and no a coilover isn't neccessary- did your car come with one? no

if you're just daily driving, what prompted this need for a different suspension?

if you just want to lower your car, get some lowering springs and call it a day. if you were more serious about it you would truly read more into it because there are a lot of threads here and all over the place to find in depth analysis of suspension components and what not.

not trying to target you or anything. you should just do some more research and then ask regarding the parts you're thinking about choosing, not just ask what to do. if everyone told you to go get some zeals, would you?
