Default Koni Yellows on Civic Skunk Coils - Will GC's Improve my Ride?

THe Skunks are 450f/350r and the car is a DD - 93 Civic hatch. I like the ride but since I just bought Koni's to replace my KYB's (not AGX), I thought of getting GC's with the same or similar rates. Is it worth it?

i wouldn't bother, honestly.
the great thing about ground control is their ability to do whatever spring rate you like, but from my experience ride quality is more dependent upon your strut and the spring rate.

now i will say i've had my GC's for nearly 3 years, and i had them on my crx for about 5 years and they've never sagged.

but ride quality at the same spring rate would be the same.

Is it just a DD? If so, then keep em... Koni/GC is excellent for track and is nice and pretty stiff.

So both Skunks and GC's are Progrssive springs and there won't be a difference in ride quality?
