Not totally true... Ground Control uses Eibach springs. I've had GCs on my previous Hondas and the ride was pretty smooth. If you slam it then it will bounce but on a mild to moderate drop the ride was great. You can also order custom spec-ed springs from them as well, depending on setup. I wouldn't use the stock struts tho.

yeah...

all it is basically ground control spec eibachs with adjustable perches. when you order from GC, you tell them what you prefer in terms of performance, ride comfort, etc, and they set you up with something that works as per that request.

you can't go overly aggressive, or too low, because of the dampers included on the car. i feel it's better to just get the eibach pro-kit, or....at the max, their sportline kit. if you get GC's, i feel it's best to source some more aggressively setup dampers, like konis.

i love GC...and Eibach.
