Default GC with shocks , Tein SS or D2?

1post, more to come lata. Anyways, hear mi now Teg Crew!!!!

Mi gsr needs to be dropped sooner or later. Right now I is doing di research. So, here it is. I am looking for an H&R sport stance, but I heard bad things about those springs(sagging and ****). So I would like A coil over system or coil spring and shock that will ride similar to the H&R sport, I know it maybe stiffer, but i dont want a harsh ride. This will be for my daily driver and I want something comfortable but yet has a secure feeling so when mi step pon di throttle and point the teg in a di curve, it will enter and come out like a champ on four wheels..Ok maybe not soo extreme, but I want it to handle well while being comfy...

I was think GC with kyb agx
GC with koni yellow(i heard the yellows are kinda stiff compared to the agx though)

Help me decide here people.
Thanks

you wont go wrong with gc/yellows.

i only have experience with tein ss which i have on my DA and theyre pretty comfy but i suckered by the jdm hype in hs so i wouldnt get them again. id probably go w/ gc/koni and get whatever spring rates i wanted, something fairly soft for the street

GC = Ground Control coilovers ( made by Eibach ) and KONI yellow Struts. That is a good Combo or KYB Struts.

What's wrong with H&Rs....? I have the usual set-up, AGX with H&R sports and I'm rocking it. It also depends on your road conditions... you would want a stiff ride cause it would avoid bottoming out. If $ is not a issue I recommend Tein Basics, best entry full coilovers for the buck. Koni/GC has and still been a legend of a exellent suspension set up.

I had both AGX and koni yellows on my car. The yellows actually ride a little better than the AGX (less choppy over bumps), and offer better valving at the same time (just twist the **** to increase rebound force).

I've had H&R OE springs with the yellows for about a year and it rocks. about an inch drop (I didn't want to be too low), and while its a firm ride, its not as harsh as some of the coilover kits out there that come with the high rates. definately stiffer than stock though.

the H&Rs I have have spring rates that are about 290lb/in front, 180 lb/in rear. If you decide to go with ground control, just get their standard rates, which are maybe a bit stiffer than the H&R OEs.

edit: AGX's are okay if you are strapped for cash, but they can't be dropped too low or you'll blow them. I recommend saving up a little more money for the koni yellows.

I heard the yellows on their softest setting is equal to the agx on their hardest.So, I am thinking it will be a harsh ride with yellows on GC? Again, I am looking for a firm, secure but yet comfy for daily driving and for when I pick up the gf or other chicks,lol.
