Default Don't yell at me but i have another ground control vs. skunk2 coilover question

Ok.. I just ordered tokico illuminas along with a set of skunk2 coilovers. The place that I order from only carries skunk2 and APC, so I ordered the skunks. I kinda wanted ground controls originally but settled for skunk2's. Is there any noticable difference between the two in ride quality or durability?

I know this has probably been asked many times as it was on hondamod.com but it's been bothering me and I want to try and get a straight forward answer.

Thanks...A hard days work calls for a Mike's Hard Lemonade.

I have driven a car with skunk2 coilovers and a car with ground control coilovers. The skunk2 have a lot of bounce to them. The ground control were a lot more stiff and had way less bounce. My car is equipped with GC and it rides with less bounce than my friends car with skunk2's.
Ground control

Both are going to be stiff. I have a 2nd Gen, and the car does seem to bounce over larger pot-holes. And sometimes over larger bumps. Not too bad, but if the bumps come in succession to each other, it seems kinda bad.

*I have tokico illumna's*
