skunk2 coilovers vs. ground control coilovers??

Lookin to purchase a set of either one. Would like to know, which set will let me go the lowest in front & back. Which set will have a bouncy ride compared to stiffer ride. Rite now Im riding on the goldline v2 springs, and would like to be able to go a little bit lower if possible.
Any help & advice is appreciated

Thanks

Ground control springs are really soft, but skunk might be too. I used to have GC's and the springs were really really soft. I'm getting used to my Hayames now..lol (way stiffer)

They're pretty much the same. I think ground controls are more expensive though because of their reputation.

i personally dont recommend any sleeved coilovers. If your going to keep stock shocks, stick to springs. If your getting aftermarket shocks, might as well go with full coilovers.

If your stubborn and still dont want to listen, i would get skunk2s as they are stiffer than gc. not sure how much stiffer but i know they are. the GCs were WAAAAY too soft. I was dropped around 2" and would bottom out all the time in the front(no the shocks werent blown). and the rear would bounce like hell. I would hear my subs in the back, bouncing

And if u want to get Koni's later, get GC because skunk 2's don't fit. Or so I've read.....

I would say don't get either and save up for the hayames. you are gonna need new shocks anyways so get the hayames............and this from someone who has gc and konis on his ride.
