No such thing. They are all about the same price. Check the sponsors section for the best deals.

soory if this is flaming...but ground controls sucks...it's like cutting the stock springs..it will bounce all over the place and it's known for the adjusting plate to slip.

depending on how low u want ur car..u might as well buy lowering springs i.e eibach sportline, nuespeed race.

ground controls use eibach springs. you probably just rode in a car with blown shocks. Any coilover + blown shocks = bouncy.

LOL...Like it was just metioned above, you were probably in a car/yours that were on stock or blown shocks. Could be a bunch of other factors too, i.e high spring rates.

you're a tard, how come all those honda challenge guys run GC's? they're top shelf don't listen to this idiot. my car doesn't bounce all over the place (it's stiff with 500 lb springs) but the coilovers have nothing to do with that, and if you tighten that bolt they don't slip.

spring/shock combo = better than coil-over, unless you spend like 1200 on a tein full race coilover setup or something. GC

And Tein's are supposed to be good? don't think so....

Koni yellows w/ ground controls are the best IMO.
