Ground controls are better for the street. Skunk2s are a bit too stiff imo.

the most reccomended setup that i am hearing is ground control coilovers and koni sport single adjustable struts. ground control has specific spring rates for each car and each motor setup.

my opinion: if you cant get a corner scale (measures weight at all 4 corners) dont get coilovers. springs adjust heights universally all around. job of coilover is to fine tune ride height at each corner. this is done my mesauring cars weight at each corner like i said before.

i forgot to mention: just coilovers on stock springs and struts will suck ***. work in this order:
struts
springs
coilovers
or
struts and springs at once
or
struts springs and coilovers all at once
