Default GC coilover sleeve Question

What makes the Ground control coilover sleeve better than the much cheaper versions out there.
You can put a spring of choice on either setup, what makes the GC better?
People have been making their own sleeves forever, makes makes a good sleeve?
Thanks

Ground Controls are track test and used by many.
Plus they used Eibach springs and not some cheap company.
They are worth the money and are the BEST as far as adj. springs

You aren't paying just for a machined piece of tube, you are also paying for the quality of the decisions behind the tube that eveything is done right. Not only should the threading machining be good so as to slean and not jam, the fit needs to be right, the spring selection should be right, etc. As far as I am concerned, of the drop-on sleeve systems there is GC and there are the GC copycats.

i speak from experience doing it the cheap way.
Bought some "GC's" that turned out to be knockoffs. They didn't work, didn't fit the adapter rings, and i ended up buying a whole new GC setup anyways. go with Ground Control.
