B&G or GC
B&G's cost nearly 1g.
GC cost about 200-350 and those prices are brand new btw.
if you were to go with GC and a shock combo, that would be a little less for a budget.
B&G's i heard good stories.. nothing bad at all.
GC + koni yellows = $700ish?
^i'd go with these as a daily driver

yeah, your options are:
1) buy GC coilovers, buy koni shocks ($800+) gut your stock shocks and install the konis along with the ground controls (more likely hire an expert to gut the shocks, figure an extra $100+ to do that) and then worry about your stock strut breaking or a koni going bad
or
2) spend 1k and get B+Gs, easiest install in the world (with my spring install DIY), and sleep well knowing you have B+Gs lifetime warranty.

Rep Power: 318 everything but the shocks.. those are 2 years covered. I replaced one under warranty 1 1/2 years in because i hit a MAJOR pothole that bent my tie-rod bad, and blew the shock
for sure go with B&G's if not then TEIN. but since you gave choices of B&G or GC...B&G all the way. save up the extar money and get hte real stuff where the shock and springs rates match. instead of getting GC and tokicos/konis or something. do it right the first time.
I got my B&Gs for $831.25 from tunersport.com. You should find them for $875 with free shipping. On B&G's website, they retail for $1490.

Yeah I am more of a professional installer than the local shops by me...
Quick story- So my Tein SS always sat slightly funny in the rear, had to basically keep one side raised up slightly more than the other according to my threads- but level to the eye ya know? So I ask the shop whom installed them, WTF, and they said oh it must have been when you get rear ended up, im like WTF again.
When I unistalled the Teins, I found a washer that fit over something, UPSIDE DOWN, thus causing my car to sit funny in the rear.
**** LIKE THAT IS WHY I DONT GOTO SHOPS ANYMORE...

518...
Did you order them? I had to wait 3 weeks (19 day as of today) to receive mine. If mine comes in on the 2nd of August, that makes it a 5 week wait.

dont ask me how, why or where because I cant tell you. I signed a non-disclosure agreement 
it’s not about getting from Point A to Point B, but the ride in between...
