Trying to decide which coilover i should purchase. My biggest concern is ride quality. The local shop recommened ground control but they also have skunk2 and some others . i want to know the good and the bad , oh this is also my first post .

When i was picking coilovers, my top two choices were ground control and skunk 2 too. I went with ground control. Their supposed to be a much better ride. Right now i'm looking for shocks/struts because everyone says the stock ones will blow with aftermarket coilovers. I suggest ground control. When I get the shocks/struts, i'll put em all on. If you wanted to know, I hear KYB AGX and Tokico shocks are really good. Hope that helped.

 

save $1,000 and get Tein's

 

I had skunk2 coilovers and they were pretty stiff. I prefer the GC though. They almost feel the same.

 

i prefer GC because the hardware they give u is complete and better than skunk..abut ride characteristics u cant really tel the difference.....between thems...unless u buy some aftermarket shocks and match it wit ur spring..rate....maybe that might help.........

 

Call up Ground Control and let them know what you're looking for. They'll do custom spring rates if you want.

 

never do they feel the same. skunk2 are alot more stiff then GC. get GC, there the best for everything. if you want it for drag, road, show, etc etc.

 

yep

 

my neuspseed coils have a good ride. no bounce

 

my GC squeek.

im looking into a set of Zeal or Tien's.

 

Have you tried cleaning them, or spraying some lubricant on them?

 

yes and i've changed out the bushings and checked the motor mounts etc...called GC but they couldnt figure it out.

 

Get a complete damper system. You'll be happier overall.

 

Coilover sleeves are GHEY. you still have a strut/shock and a independent spring. Complete systems with adjustable height and dampening cant be beat. Companies like JIC, Tanabe and H&R make pretty good setups

 

I hate you guys, you make me wanna spend more $$$$. Now I want a full coilover for my hatch.

 

tein

 

what is the best full coilover?

 

TEIN duh!!!

 

doesss anyone have any experience with " red suspension" i seen a ad in super street for 399 for coilovers i wonder how good a product they are?

 

NEX all the way

 

I agree and Teins aren't that much more than GCs and Koni adj. check out http://www.machiii.net/machiii/html/...tein/tein.html

I have TEIN HA's on my IS300 and the dam rear rattles too much. Everyone I know with tein gets a little rattle. I suggest Tanabe Sustec SS. I heard they are good too.
