LOL, then yeah I would go with ground control. I bought the sk2 ones, and I think they're pretty ****. Then decided I rather get teins.

Ride has little to do with the brand and more to do with springrate and shock being used.

You tell us what your plan is and be a little more specific. Otherwise a sleeved coilover is a sleeved coilover, for the most part.

If it's a daily beater, then why not just go lowering springs? Those will provide a better ride and you won't have any of the noise issues that come with sleeved coilovers on the front of these cars.

Agreed. Ground Controls do give you the freedom to adjust height but the lower you go with the stock dampers the worse of a ride your going to get. You may even blow a damper or two...

You may want to check out some Comptech springs. The ride is pretty much the same and they give a pretty decent drop.
