How much are you looking to spend? Do you plan on autocrossing, road racing, or draging your car?

I think OTS Koni Yellows and Ground Control Coilovers is a great setup. Its great for daily and track use. If you search around you'll see that a lot of people swear buy this setup. You will also have ride height adjustability, and if you ever want to increase your spring rates you could do so with out a problem.

If you use Koni shocks and GC's made for Konis then no that will never happen. The way the sleeve is designed to perfectly fit the shock body and sit on the snap ring on the shock will keep anything of that sort from happening. I used to have that setup, very high quality.

I have ground controls and have had them for some time. There have been no problems whatsoever and they were well worth it. BTW theyll be up for sale soon as I just picked up a set of D2's

I hve the koni yellows/ground control coilovers, and I have no problems with them whatsoever. I love them. The ride is awesome and they handle pretty well. Id recomend them to anybody, and they price tag really isnt too bad either..
Everything comes with a life time warranty too.

no it doesn't at a stand still, only when it's moving.
