Default which coilovers?...

ive been having a hard time tying to decide on a coilover to get, when it comes time to get them. i THINK ive got it down to two, ground control, and progress. i like that you can adjust either one between about 1 and 3 inches, and ive heard both are made of good quality materials. i dont mind a ruff ride. so, overall, which are generally better suited to the ef hatches chassis?

oh, haha. well then, i guess i havnt felt the worst of it. it always seems a little bumpy, but it was also stripped out so you could hear every bump and thump, which must have made it seem more. i also belive his shocks were done, which caused a lot of bouncing. anyways, i still would like to know which of the two utelizes the ef's chassy the best.

If those are your two final choices, go with the Ground Controls.

No.

Skunk2 makes a great coil over too. I have a set on two of my cars. It really depends on what you want to do with the car. If you just want it lowered and will never adjust it then just get springs.

yea, actually i would be adjusting the ride height etc... so im looking at coilovers. i like the look of slightly lower in the front then in the back, but im sure id get tired of it and would want to adjust it to something else later on. ive heard skunk2 are great, but the bumpiest ride of all the coilovers in that price range.
