Default Opinions on GC/Koni setup vs. Coilover setup for daily driven s2k......

I ran a search but couldn't really find anything related to Ground Control and Koni shock setup. I found info related to coilovers but more related to which one is best etc.

I don't track or race my S2K at all, and don't plan to, instead it will be simply a daily driver. I would love to lower the car for better looks, but also improve the handling performance. I know the S has great suspension as it sits but I know it could be better, and kill the wheel well gap at the same time.

Would the GC/Koni setup for the S do the trick? I have the opportunity to pick up a used set of Buddy Club coilovers for $900 U.S. or get the GC/Koni setup for about the same but they would be new.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply

How low could I get with this setup? Would anyone know? I don't want to slam it. I know GC's can be adjusted pretty low, up to 3" from what I hear, but just want to be sure.

The absolute most I would go is a 1 finger gap.

Would you go GC/Koni over a set of BC coilovers considering my driving habits = daily driver.
