What kind of Coildovers are you running?

So after 5-6 months with my pro-kit on, I decided to slam my CL. It just looks too odd with a 1.5" drop and 35 series tires. I was thinking about getting ground control coilevers and teins are out of the questions. Anyone know of any other brands? I know Skunk 2 are descent, or are they? And will KYB AGX shocks work with coilovers if I drop it about 2.5"? Thanks for the help guys.

i have skunk 2's, and they ride decent. Not bad, but not great. I can't complain since i got them of a buddy for $100. They were slightly used.

Mine is about a 2.5" drop too. Only problem is the camber.I'm gonna get ingalls soon. BTW-the rims look sooooo much bigger when it's slammed!

Get some 40-series too! JMO.

why are tein out of the question? If you are going to slam your car you are going to HAVE to get new shocks, and when you look at the price of those not as good as tein sleeve coilovers and shocks you are practically at the price of the teins

The reason I'm not going to spend $900+ shipping to hawaii is because I already have the rear KYB AGX shocks that were given to me free and I could get the other 2 front shocks for $100ea. and that's a good price for being in hawaii.

I did a search yesterday on camber kits. Which one do you guys prefer. I've heard negatives and positives on all brands. Although Ingalls seem to be the prefered brand. What is the difference between rubber bushings and the other kind?
