Ground Control Coilovers

If I bought this kit, what else would I need to make a good performing, reliable, and comfortable ride. A camber kit and what else? Would going with the Eibach Prokit be a better decision/ be cheaper?? Thanks!

Depends on your needs/wants. A prokit doesn't need camber correction so you do save money right there. Plus they do ride better than sleved coilovers. You would probably need to get replacement shocks as well. The prokit i know you can run stock shocks with for awhile before they blow. If you want the adjustablilty, assuming this being the ONLY reason for coilovers, go with them. If you are into comfort and performance, stick with springs. If you want a nice drop, go with something a little lower than the prokit though. You will need a camber kit, but if you have the cash, do it.

There are VERY few people who are happy with their sleeved coilovers. I had mine for about 2 weeks until one day my girlfriend wanted to ride in my friends car instead of mine because of the shitty ride.

So i sold those (ground control) and bought H&R sport. The sport drop is perfect IMO and the ride is comparable to, if not better than, stock. The ONLY reason that i took off those springs was external forces (IE. Parents.) Just make sure you get a camber kit!! Unless you want your tires to go from new to belts in under 2 months.

If you dont want to look like a 4x4, but dont want to mess with camber kits than get the prokit.

Thanks! I think I will go with H&R and egt a camber kit. I have heard many good things about H&R springs and not many good things about the ground controls so... Thanks again!

Nice move. CLver is actually swapping springs with me because his parents are on his ass. I just got an ingalls camber kit in the mail from d98 some i'm ready to go. Clean drop with a god ride. Plus its cheaper
