Default Ground Controls and everyday driving...

I am thinking about purchasing some GC's and would like some comments from the people who have them installed and drive their vehicle daily. I am currently running KYB AGX's with Nuespeed springs in my coupe, would like to get some GC's rated for an Integra and was wondering about the ride quality, will it be better or much harsher than my Nuespeeds springs i have on there now? Any comments will be appreciated...

The only problem with Teins' is the cost if they get blown out, I can't just replace a shock, I have to replace the whole unit . Thank you for your input.

Aren't Teins rebuildable? Crap, I was gonna get HA's, but if you can't fix 'em, may have to go with someone else.... Who has a decent coilover that is adjustable, rebuildable, and not bouncy? Argh...so many choices....

I went thru three suspension set ups in my Accord one was Koni/nuespeed and I hated them
Then I got the GC and Tokico blues and It was so much better then any of my other suspension set ups
I liked them so much I put the same set up on my 92 civic
All my friends ask what set up I have because It rides so good
GC
