I have the Ground Controls and AGX's on my hatch. I got them together in a group buy for like $550 shipped. They perform very well together, but if you want a comfortable ride, I would not recommend coilovers. They are much stiffer and rougher than coil springs, but you get used to it. And don't worry about the AGX's if you want to slam your car. Most will tell you that they can't handle anything below the recommended 1.5" drop, but I have had them on my car for 2 years and my car is much lower than 1.5", and I have had 0 problems with them. This setup is well worth it for the money, IMO. Good luck!

how are tein basic coilovers ?
arent they around 600 on modacar.com?

also, how about tanabe sustec? i heard real coilovers are better than coilover springs/shocks because it doesnt bounce on bumps ...
