Best Coilovers for the Money?
Best Coilovers for the Money?
I'm looking for a coilover that would give a good ride, not be bouncy and not cost an arm and a leg........ones like Ground Control and stuff like that.

Rep Power: 0 what's the best...next down from Ground Control.
I will repace the shocks and struts after it.
I'm going more for show than race, but I do want a nice smooth ride quality.

Rep Power: 343 I guess ground control is fine. there's plenty other brand name things like ground controls..
a full/true coilover is way better than any of 'em.
cost is up there, but the shocks that comes with a full coilover is designed in mind with the spring being used with.. and the adjustability on those shocks? how does 16 different setting sound? (TEIN) H&R's has 4...
I'll wait for TEIN. its costy. but yeah. I think thats best. plus by the time it comes out, and for the price to be reasonable, my stock shocks would have been pretty worn... or maybe I wont even have my car anymore. who knows. lol.
if you want all out, no compromise, go for a full coilover.
GC aren't all that, next to TIEN or Endless, etc. (course price difference is like 3x)
