Default Ground Controls Or Skunk2's?

Im about to install some Kyb AGX's and i was wondering which coilovers would be better? Does Anyone have this exact setup? How do u like the ride? I've talked to couple of my friends and i get mixed opinions on the GC's and Skunks. Thanks for the help guys

I would recommend the Ground Controls. The Skunk2 are pretty nice but my friends have the Ground Controls. They ride really good.

I have Skunk2 coilovers on my Teg. They work well, just make sure you get a good set of struts to go with them.

Is your car a daily driver? How stiff do you want your springs? Ground controls are 350 up front and 2something in the back (if you dont get custom spring rates). Skunk2's i believe are 500 up front and 400 in the back, so its going to be stiffer. It all depends of preference. I would go with ground controls because the Skunk2s would be too stiff for me.

Skunk 2's are actually 559 front, 448 rear. They are pretty stiff but I liked them alot. I'm not sure but they might be too stiff for the kyb's. As good as they are if I could do it all over again I would get custom spring rate ground controls,

Alot of peoplw with Skunk2's complain of it being too stiff/bouncy

I'd go with the Gs's, but its all preference

I have the Skunk2's with AGXs. I love the stiff ride. Mine is a daily driver, but i can tolerate the stiffness through the streets.

Thanks for all the input guys... Now im just stuck. I don't know which to go with. Does anyone know where i can get some gc's or skunks for a decent price? Does anyone know the springrates on both the GC's and the Skunks? My car is going to be a daily driver... so i don't want anything too stiff, but at the same time i want it to perform. Thanks peeps
