How the coilover setup performs depends completely on the spring rates you choose, the damper, damper settings and alignment. As such - we cannot give you any feedback that is useful.

Yep, the GC coilover itself does nothing to the handling.

my 350F/450R OTS koni felt better than these damn omni power 12kf/10k rear....
I hope I can get these dialed in better or I am going to go back to GC/Koni set up

Re: Ground control coilovers handeling (TypeR15)
damn you guys are harsh. lol
If you dont do it right, it wont handle as good as stock. If you do everything right, it will be a little better. I know one guy here tested his GC setup, and he was pulling over a G of latteral acceleration.
Do your own DD, but generally 400F/500R with either koni's or bilsteins is a good setup.
You'll probably want the rear around 1/4'' higher than the front, tire pressures either equal, or slightly more in the back. 1/16'' toe out in the front.
