Best setup? Skunk2 or GC Coilover (already searched)

Hi! I was wondering which is a better setup between Skunk2 or Ground Control Coilovers? Lowering my car really soon! I already searched... I read that the Skunk2's are more stiff than the GC... But I want a close to stock ride comfort... Would I still be able to set it so it's still a comfortable ride after installing new Shocks and Struts for either of them? Which one is better? Both are really close in price range also... It sounds like a lot more people have GC's on this board thank Skunk2. But there's people saying Skunk2's are better than GC. Thanks!!

i've heard many complaints about ground control(but then again, every company has a complaint. and if theres more complaints its possible that its cause most people have ground controls)
and also as someone mentioned, skunk2s are slightly stiffer.. i perfer my springs stiffer rather then soft. i'd be happy with either one tho..

i've always leaned toward Skunk2 more... plus I haven't heard a complaint about them yet on here... but then again, it's not used as much as GC's on here...

but i'm probably going to go with the Skunk2's... do they have those shock adapter things like GC does? like when you buy GC's, they have an option to pick it using stock shocks or Koni's... Skunk2 doesn't have those do they? and also bump stops...

and last question hopefully! which one is easier to adjust the height? or are they both pretty much the same? thanks everyone!!

I have my Skunk 2 for about 6 months and not a single problem, and it's a great ride. I can't say anything about the GC because I never had it and never been in a car that has it...

Neither is good. Get a real coilover not a sleaved one. You are asking for problems getting the sleaves.

i really want to get true coilover, but i can't really afford it. it's hard for me to save that much money at a time... BTW, what kinda problems are you talking about if i get the sleeves? thanks!!
