Ground Control....I believe these have eibach springs attached to them. If GC's aren't the ones that use Eibachs, someone tell me which one is, and those are the one's I recommend!
I also recommend getting new shocks....it'll help the ride a ton!!!!!!!!!!

GCs:thumbup:
Skunk2:thumbup:
dropzone, weaponR, tenzo, arospeed, apc:tfg:
do it right the first time, i didn't. i got GCs about a month ago thru Protege5online at www.groupbuycenter.com for 300 shipped to Hawaii, you can get em for less.
only thing is they didnt have them in stock so they had GC drop-ship them and i guess they were behind for the summer so it took a while[month and 1/2]

www.ground-control.com is their webisite. groupbuy will definately have them.....I kind of pimp www.lightningmotorsports.com because they've been awesome to me.
Of you know these are just sleeved coilovers....not "true" coilovers. Tein would be your best bet for those. but they are mucho dinero!

Skunk2 would be your best bet. They are not over priced like the ground controls and they are over rated.
I myself have a crx with Skunk2 coilovers and koni adjustable shocks. It rides better than my friends 90-93 integra with Ground controls and tociko shocks. and not just alittle better, alot.

struts are key i actually know a kid whose car has arospeed coilovers with KYB AGX struts - that car rides better than my friends with GC coils and either tokico or koni's (cant remember which he uses)

i need to change my shock and springs, and was thinking about getting tein coilover, but it cost like $1,000. for about that price i could get air cylinder system. so what is better, coilover or air cylinder in ride comfort, cornering, handling?
