Default EP3 Adjustable Spring advice.

I was looking into getting adjustables but there's so many I dont know what to get. Any advice on which ones to get? So far all I've heard were:

-Skunk2.. I heard were bouncy
-Ground Control.. I heard they were pretty good

It doesn't neccessarily have to be betwen skunks and Grouns Controls.. any alternative suggestions would help also.

Thanx- Angelo

lol. what kal said. mugen SS (Sport Suspension... only)

skunk 2, GC's, hmmm. sooner or later you may need a better aftermarket shock, so just go full coilover systems

right now, a few of us ep bubbas are looking into omni's. i've talked to a few vendors. PM me if you need more info.

edit: since you can't send PM's yet, post on your thread.

if you don't know what the suspension geometry does when you make adjustments, don't get them.

spring rates, rebound adjustment, compression, camber, castor, toe, bump steer,etc. all this stuff is VERY important.

if you're going for aesthetics, you're doing it for the wrong reasons, or looking on the wrong forum at least.

research the effects and the physics behind it, look at your budget, look at what's available, make a purchase.
