ok since u are new, i'll fill u in.
Ground-Control = $550-$650 Ride is close to stock. Not too bouncy.
Skunk2 = $450-$550 Ride is stiffer than stock. Ride might be rougher.
Generic = $150-$350 You pay for what u get...nuff said.
Recommendation: Do ur suspension all at once. Saves u money, unless u DIY. Best Combo right now most ppl have is the "Ground/Control,Koni Yellow Adjustable,and Ingals Camber Kit (depends on drop). I am waiting for the "Tein SS". This will be a better setup than the aforementioned setup because the spring is matched up with the shock + the front setup is a full replacement, not a "stock strut converted into a Koni Adjustable" + if u plan on selling ur ride later, u might have to revert back to stock (hard to sell car with mods sometimes) + they are bolt-ons, no modifications required...therefore, it could be a easy DIY.

Rep Power: 0 Well I am using GC's and well the ride gets bumpy when you got no gas and 1 person (yourself in the car..) cuz well out cars are light as shiznit...sooo if you want the stock ride...which it does give you....for your moneys worth...drive with a full tank of gas...cuz it adds like an extra 350lbs to your car..and makes the ride really nice....I like them...I did the install myself with Blown..and well we bumbed around for the first day and finished it the second....but I really need some Koni Yellows...bad...but I am soo scared of the install...anyone got some tips...on installing the strut....

Rep Power: 0 The rear is a direct bolt on! I am thinking about ordering the rears for my car, when do you think you need them? Maybe we could work on a deal or something, eh?
As for the front struts, well, that one even scares me! I would pay someone to do them for sure!
As for coilovers, here is my opinion:
Ground Control: Best ones out there so far, a little bit bouncey though. I would recommend these.
Skunk2: Ride is more bouncey than GC, but still a decent coilover.
Generic/cheaper ones: Don't waste your time with those!
