i got skAnk2's on my coupe, but ride is waaaaaaaack and its hella bouncy unless you get shocks with it...
but i think even with shocks, it'll still be bouncy ride. maybe becuz the spring itself is short (about 10inchs?)
i dont recommend it[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 get either or skunks2 or ground control, those are the only sleeves coilover i would choose, you wouldnt have a smooth ride with coilovers, if you want a smooth ride go with lowering springs, i have skunk2 but im slammed it so i knew that i was going to have a bouncy ride

Rep Power: 0 I'd say go with ground control... There made in conjuction from two reputable companies (Eibach & Skunk2). And that one wrench/perch thing is definately a plus. Just my 2cents.
Ohh ya, let me now what prices you find, I might be interestend in getting them after I get new rims next month.

I have ground control coilovers. Like Diz says, it's not the smoothest ride. It depends on height. When I had the car fresh with them on and droped with my kit to about an inch or slightly less ( bad, no no no... [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-nono.gif[/IMG] speed bumps very bad at this height!!!)
I raised it to about 1/2 - 1 1/2 drop and they ride well except for the occasional unavoidalbe gaint bump or sharp protrusion from the road.
IListen to diz about the ride, I haven't used drop springs before, i probably wont... When I was droped that low it was like a bad teetor-totter episode, like a jackrabbit on fresh rabbit ***. (no, it didn't feel good, kinda hurt... :frown[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
Raised it rides well except for the occasional unaviodable protrusion in the road.
Hope it helps...
Good explanation Diz, that explains pretty well, u'd think the faster recoil over stock with gc's would help that though. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 I'm rude sorry, they are about 340 online, shops have a hard time beating that price ( shipping, whatever) so expect maybe 340-400 depending on where you go, mine were 100 for install. I know the guys so i got a good deal on mine. expect aorund 440+ after install, unless they give you a better install price.
Store owner said after a while it will eat away my inside tire more than my out, but that might be bs to get me to get a camber kit, please advise...
