Default 01 02 03 04 05 HONDA CIVIC COILOVER SPRING BLUE 2/4 DR

Is there a difference between these adjustable springs rather than getting ground control adjustable springs?

The ground controls are bouncy too, on stock shocks.

The difference between these and ground control springs, is that Ground Control has spend time and money in research and development to design specific spring rates. The rates affect the level of bounciness and cornering, etc.

Cheap ebay adjustables might, and probably do, have the spring rates out of whack.

However, I did have ebay adjustables on my old accord, but I paired them with performance shocks (KYB AGX) and the ride was pretty damn good.

Hey wasup Alex, can see that your Hmong as well. Where you from? But you can get those and just keep the sleeves and replace the springs with swift coilover springs.
