go with the ground control..they are only a few $ more..prolly about $40 more...but it will be worth it..the skunk2 coilovers are a little bouncy...i dont think the spring rate is as good as the ground control...in short ground controll are better

Completely agree. Pay a little extra for some quality. Skunk2's are bouncy.....the ride isn't that great at all. The ground control's are probably the best sleeve coilovers you can get, and they use eibach springs which are the best.

I have heard the ground controls put a lot of stress on your suspension components and the ride quality gradually declines. I would def. get new shocks unless you are going to do a modest drop (under 1.5 inches) and if you are doing a drop like that get the pro kits
