i believe their are 2 kinds of ground controls:
1) the set thats meant to go with stock shocks
2) a set thats meant to go along with koni yellows

i have skunk2 coilovers on stock shocks, their pretty good. 8.5/10 because when i steer, it makes a clanking/creak/pop noise. adjusting it was kind of hard. overall, im still satisfied because i got a good deal on the skunk2's.

if i could, i'd go with ground controls.

www.importhorizon.com <--- good prices on parts

oh yea, also dont ask questions like which is better cuz their is no better when deciding with a set-up. to be more specific ask questions like "your review on ground control coilovers or skunk2 coilovers"
dont forget theirs a parts review section

I might go with the skunk2 b/c they dont $$$ as much as G/C. I can get the skunk2 4 around $275 at mmrusa.com and G/C are around $350.

I'd go Ground control, simply because the locking collar they use is alot easier to deal with (alen key lock rather then 2 jamed together collars....) and if you talk to Ground Control you can purchace any spring rate, or spring length you want.....Great if your tuning for maximum handling performance.

Yes, the last thing you want to do is ride on cheap suspension... unless you want a cheap quality ride.
