i would get progress springs the ride is way better than the sportline but since you asked about sportline vs ground control i would have to say sportline

Apples vs. Oranges? Are you in it for a specific drop, ride quality, adjustable ride height?

its hard to judge considering that ground control is just the collars themselves, eibach makes the springs for ground control, but since i like the adjustablilty and i can corner balance my car with them. i am going to have to go with ground control

I'm not too concerned about ride quality, and I'd like my suspension to be reasonably firm. The ride height was something I was a little worried about with the sportlines. I don't care about "that super-slammed race look", but I would like for it to be lowered a little. (No rice.)

My buddy's car with H&R Sports...pretty low, not much camber problem...I usta have Eibach Sportlines on my CRX...the car sit pretty low, scraped couple times, but camber wasn't too big of a deal with them on...but H&R's seemed more comfortable...still love the Eibachs though!

Eibach makes the Ground-Crontrol springs. They're pretty much the same as the sportlines just shorter and maybe a lil bit stiffer. I've ran both GC's and the sportlines. I love them both. Everybody says it's a harsh ride and either too low or not enough. My prelude was pretty low w/ the Gc's and the ride was solid. not bouncy or mushy, just straight up solid and handled insanely good. That was w/ tokico blue shocks. On my 4g hatch i have koni yellows w/ sportlines. The car is alot lower then i'd like it to be but when i drove it on my road and it didn't scrape on my road,"Paved" country road in Va, The ride height did not bother me at all. The shocks were set on they're softest setting and the car handled WAY better then i had hoped for and that's on the stock crappy tires w/ low air pressures.
