KONI/GC Combo vs. Tein, B&G
how do you think the combo matches against the full suspension system? what is better and more cost effective? looking for both aspects. appreciate the feed back.

sleeved coilovers ride rough and are more of a hassel of an install. Tein or B&Gs is a simple swap in for stock suspenion that is designed to work together. You will get a smoother ride with true coilovers.... i would get either Teins of B&Gs

THe only reason people think that Sleeved coilovers Ride rough is because people use them with the stock shocks. with the proper damper they ride every bit as good as "coilovers". That is, assuming spring rates were comparable.
i was thinkin about the groundcontrol and koni setup for a long time and i was so close to ordering them but i went with the B+G S3 coilovers and i know im going to be very happy with my setup becaues ill have the one of the best coilovers around
hehe
SLP rules thanks for the great price

i think B&G would let u lower the car more than other coilovers, but not sure if rides better than other tho. I think most ppl get it 'cause they wanted those 2"+ drops.

I just got that setup, I went from sport lines to the ground control and i LOVE IT !!
very responsive, and bit more stiff, but I like it

I would say GC/Koni because a. GC can give you custom spring rates b. Konis have a lifetime free rebuild. Where as Tein have to be rebuilt out of US *think shipping* (maybe they add a factory here but im not sure).
