Lightbulb Mind made up

Alright..... Finally, Ive made my decision.

With the feed back I got back from the forums and selected other..

And the winnier is???? (du du dummmm)


"Eibach pro springs and Koni Yellows"

If you dont remember I posted an inquiry on GroundControl..

But come to find out, unless Im racing and such it would be pointless. The groundcontrol set from what I heard and felt ride like bricks... Was not a smooth ride.....

How about ya guys, give some feed back, lets see what others have expirienced>.......

thats why you get groundcontrol with konis. and its not for racing, its for looks cause you get to adjust the height. prokit barely drops your car. it'll probably still look stock afterwards. should get atleast a 1.75" drop. preferably 2.25"

i got ground control and konis... very nice ride plus i can lower it or raise it as much as i want without sacrificing ride quality because of the konis...

what you heard is that ground control BY THEMSELVES are a bad ride because your stock shocks wear out quickly...

Ok I hear ya.. I was just looking at my ride, had a ruler and measured 1'' inch.. Did not like that, I want more like a 1.4'' or a 1.5'' drop... Besides getting the Groundcontrol, what other GOOD QUALITY springs are out there????

Man finding what you want can be a headache!!

Why would you just leave stock if you have the money to get a better shock , do you know the ride difference between stock and Koni??

Wouldnt you think it would be a smoother ride, and last longer than stock shocks??

No punt intinded.......

Yes, I know the difference between stock and Koni.


What I am saying is that it is not necessary with Eibachs, but if you have the money, which you obviously do from what you say, then why not get full coilover system?
But whatevers... you posted, so of course people respond; it's expected. No need to get all heated when someone questions your decision.

If you have 700 save 200 more and get the Tein Basic Damper system for 900 sumthin. I just called tein and they have them in stock now. Or you can get the Tein Super street damper for 1200. Tein S Tech springs lower 1.3 1.4 and thoses run 190 msrp.
