Default what other struts work with the Ground Control coilovers???

I have been checking out different forums and everyone is saying that revalved Bilsteins are the only choice for Ground Control coilovers. I have checked and they are very expensive not to include the revalving. I would be looking at close to $600.00 for the struts, revalving, and shipping. Not to mention lots of folks say that Bilsteins customer service is crap. Can anyone recommend an alternative that will give the car a nice ride and wont blow out on the first day. If you have a cool story that would help too with my decision. I plan on dropping it 3" all the way around. Someone please help , Im having a crisis...

If I told you that slamming your street car like that is a bad idea, would you believe me? Granted a dropped car looks good, but there is something to be said for suspension travel and kidney function.

For that kind of radical drop you will need revalved shocks and struts, there is nothing available "off the shelf" that can handle that kind of drop.

Maybe you should consider some sort of hydraulics for your drop.
