I have skunks and I am happy with them. I think going with gc's you can order any spring rate that you want. He could still go with skunks and if he's not happy with the ride, order a set of eibach springs (gc springs) and they should fit over the skunk sleeves.

ive had the ground controls and i liked the ride and handling. i just dont want to make a biased comparison with the skunk2s because i havent owned a set. my friends have em in their cars and they ride pretty good too.

your shocks and/or springrates may not be suited for one another. also, how low are you? if you're too low, you lose lots of travel on the shock. being bouncy on the skunk2's would be relative...

The GC "Special Edition" are what your bro wants. They have the softest spring rates and since his goals appear to be adjustable ride height and not too much ride harshness, that's the way to go.

I have skunk2s and its fine. I've ridden in my friends car with gc and for some reason it rides a tad bit better. I say go for the one that has a better price.

Just so you know with the special edition Ground controls you can't really slam your car ie. they stop you at a certain point. Just so you know
