Default em1 suspension question gc/koni

hello
i posted on here a little while ago asking about the best option to lower my car and i've narrowed it down to gc with koni yellows. but i'm poor so,
my question is, would it still suffice if i used the gc coilovers on my stock springs?
what would be the preformance and ride comfort i would be sacrificing by not having the koni yellow springs?
would the car still have a good amount of drop to it?

thx
-zach

I think you're confused, or maybe I'm just confused about what you are saying. So are you saying you want to just buy the ground controls and use them with your stock shocks instead of the koni yellow shocks? If that's what you're saying, yeah you can do it but the ride comfort is going to drop dramatically, especially when your shocks blow out, which they most likely will because they aren't designed for that. As soon as that happens, your performance will drop a lot also. Honestly you should just save for the koni's before you do any type of work on the suspension. You don't want to have to do it all twice. But if all you're looking for is a lowered car then go for it, you just might be disapoined with the turnout.
