Default Coilovers or Springs?

I am looking at getting some Ground Control coilovers or Some Sprint springs and I just wanted to know what you all thought, or which is better.

Thanks

i don't know anything about the sprint springs... but a lot of my friends like the gound controls... but you really need to get aftermarket shocks with these...

i'd go for the GCs. either choice will need some better aftermarket struts.

for GCs, koni yellows. that set-up will run about $800-850. may as well spend a lil more for teins which are real coilovers not sleeves.

you could however get away with a cheaper strut, but coilovers have stiff springs and need something good for best performance.

I recommend saving up a little more for the Teins. I've had them on for about 8 months and they are worth it. The ride is tight but not too stiff. I can really whip around the corners, especially with the summer rims on now.:wiggle: If your going to do coilovers, get the full coilovers, not the sleeves.:chuckles:

You can even find Teins as cheap as $850-$875 if you looked around.
