Ground control coilovers on a 5th gen?
Just wondering how many of you have tried them, and what you thought of them? Also what kind of struts did you use with them.. I do not do track days, just wanting a decent ride, not too harsh...

if you want a decent ride then i wouldnt recommend them with stock struts, i used them for a while with stock shocks and it was horrible, ultra bouncy...after i got some struts though, they are great...

if you just want a nice ride, ground control are NOT a good choice...the spring rates that ground control suggests are pretty stiff originally, and you can always custom order higher spring rates...however, they do work well with kyb agx's or koni yellows, but your stock shocks will last about a week with ground controls...if you want a decent ride, i'd stick with neuspeed sports or eibach sportline...

Had them on my coupe. It was great. Going to move them over to the sedan because it was such a all around good package.

yep, couldn't say it better myself.
but again, anyone looking for comfort in coilover is a fool.
GC/koni are streetable, drove it and i actually think it's softer than what i expected. but i never tracked an accord with the set up
