Need Help wth a coilover question

At the moment I have Eibach sportlines lowering springs, with factory struts and I have about a half inch of play from my tire to my fender. So I need to get coilovers, My plan is to get coilovers and koni's all around. Does it really matter what kind of coilovers(Cheap vs. Expensive) I get as long as I get the Koni's or should I get an expensive set of coilovers also.

Do you really feel the difference between the koni's and the Factory struts?

Can you guys recomend some coilovers that aren't to expensive?

Also is the ride quality worse with coilovers than lowering springs?

Ground Control's are the only sleeved(cheap in other words because they aren't TRUE coils) that I would ever recommend getting. They use Eibach springs.

Or Skunk2s which are just Ground Controls with a different name (and cheaper)... don't forget... there is a suspension section in the forum. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

I have Skunk2 coilovers and they are great. They are very cheap and will work well with after market shocks.

I've heard the Skunk 2's have a tendency to break........anyone have problems like that? I just want you all to remember the you stated that they were cheap.
