Default which do u prefer?

hey everyone i was lookin into gettin a full coilover kit for my car, i wanted a adjustable height as well and this is mainly for street driving/freeway driving, no track. I wanted to know which suspension do u guys have the most experience with and prefer the most, skun 2, tein, or ground control. i wanted somewat a stiff ride and a adjustable ride height just to lower prolly .5 to 1 inch low. anyways thanks for all your help!

I would get ground controls over all of them, however for that low of a drop and just street driving I would look into some eibach lowerings springs, as they will give you the best of both worls.

Why? Threaded Bodied Sleeves or shocks are really not going to get you anything for street driving, they are more important when you are racing/tracking the car. Some good loweing springs with some good shocks will do wounders for how your car handles and drives.

Ground Contorls do give you adjustable height, and if you stock shocks are in good shape then you should be fine with the small amount of drop you are talking about.
