I had them for a while.. Honestly they were not horrible. I would defiantly recommend Tein springs. Depends on what your wanting to do... Just for looks or for performance and handling. Just don't go with the $35 coilovers. haha

The problem usually isn't the springs. The problem typically is the POS sleeve manufacturing. The threads get trashed, and the sleeves can deform, mushroom out, and split at the bottom where it sits on the regular spring perch.

I would never use that junk, even with ERS springs.

Right, the weak point in you suspension will be the sleeves. Ground-Control uses Eibach springs, so even with good Eibach springs, you still run the risk of the sleeves failing. Also, don't think that just because you use those springs that your car will ride smooth. The spring rate and what shocks you are using are still very important.
