Do more research. There are much better options out there, especially for the money. Take the Koni/GC setup for example; $825 and a lifetime warranty.

Oversprung, underdamped. A reputable coilover like the one datbumper mentioned will be neither.

Please do some reading. Eibach makes the springs for the Ground Control sleeves. And you CANNOT use regular lowering spring on an adjust sleeve.

fyi, you're bouncing because your dampers aren't properly suited for your spring rate/ride height.

Just go with a reputable one. Never, ever cheap out on parts. Better to buy quality than quantity. That's definitely one lesson I've learned in life. Progress CSII's or Koni/GC is your best bet (Koni/GC ftw!). If it's a DD, a good, median rate is 350f/350r.

For reasons I don't want to get into, Progress coilovers should primarily be thought of as non-adjustable, because the actual useable range (at typical rates) is very low. If you want a lot of adjustability go with Koni/GC or the like. But if you are happy with a ~1.5" drop Progress coilovers are very good.

This is the ride height you'll get from Progress, +/- 0.5" or so.

Hatch is a 2-2.5'' drop, IIRC.
