Default springs or coilovers?

just wonderin people's thoughts and opinions on whether or not I should go for either the Eibach Pro-Kit or Sportline's or GroundControl Coilovers for my 95 Civic Coupe? i have heard coils give a terrible ride...but i also want it to look good and handle well. feedback, opinions, and anything else that will help me out would be much appreciated

i would add that i have 17" konig rush's on kuhmo rubber 205/40

Groundcontrols are not true coilovers. I'd try to stay away from them, but they are nice because they are decently cheap and are adjustable. If you are planning on buying struts too, you may as well spend the few extra bucks and get a real set of coilovers. I have Koni coilvers that I got for around $900 and there is an awesome group buy for Tein Coilovers going on now. They are supposed to be "The" coilovers to have.

ground controls are good to get for the beginner. They are nice cause they are easy to adjust. Right now I have ground controls and kyb shocks, but I regret not buying a true coilover in the beginning. I could have got a set of teins for a tad more. My advice, if you wanna lower your car right away buy some springs for the time being, and down the line put in coilovers (not the ground controls or skunks) beefen up your suspension.
