Icon2 Can't decide on coilovers

I want adjustable coilover sleeves for my 98 lude but not really sure if i need to get something like ground controlls since i do no auto-x whatsoever and just driving on harsh mississippi roads. Im definitely getting new shocks because the car has 150k miles, and I really want to know if ebay coilovers with some kyb gr2s or tokico blues would be fine for daily driving, Im not trying to spend a lot because I need to replace a lot in the front suspension (balljoints, tie rods ends, alignment, im sure more), I had ebay coilovers on my del sol with stock shocks and the ride didn't feel much worse than stock did, and i was pretty pleased with them. Some opinions from you guys would be great thanks

There's great deals in the Sponsor Marketplace for Koni's and G/C's.
Most recommend that setup.

But if you want the other shock brands, I'd get name brand Coilovers and not "eBay" Parts...

What's your budget?

You can get the GC/KYB AGX combo for around $600.

I haven't really set a budget i just don't want to spend a lot if i don't have to. I think im going to try the cheap springs with good shocks and if they ride like crap then ill toss them and only be out 40 dollars, but at least ill feel better having tried to save money. im talking to a guy right now about some used gc coilovers for 150, but he said he misplaced them and is looking for them. ill buy those as long as they a in good condition. where can you get the gc with agx for $600?

New Koni/GC for $800 Shipped, I'd rather go that route personally.. Specially if you're gonna buy new anyways..
Used, I might consider the others, if I really needed them..

Internet stores and/or ebay. I picked up my KYB AGX w/ Eibach Pro-Kit (came as a combo deal) for $560. You can find GCs all over for around $300.

cheapest i found ground controlls was 315 + 25shipping and cheapest agx was 360+ 25shipping, Once I get my new debit card in the mail (lost my wallet a week ago) im gonna go with the cheap coilover springs and kyb gr2 which all together will be around 250, so like i said before, if the springs suck then im not out much, i think with all the money i can save its worth a try.
