HaHa...I thought you were too lazy to raise and lower your car.

I tried them and they are super stiff. You will get shorter over time.

I had them paired with Illuminas.

You might want to check out the NEX coilovers, they are priced well. However, I haven't seen anyone on here with them. They are about $530.00 on eBay.

SHINEYNITELITE.... Even though you called me a "damn NOOB" on another post, i wouldnt wish the bouncy ride of those coilovers on anyone...

i can tell you that the ground control coilovers are gonna give you some serious bounce. First i had them on my stock shocks and they blew, then i bought some kyb's and the ride got a little better but still bouncy. I dont know how picky you are about your ride comfort but my car was bouncing big time so i just got some regular eibachs.

I've never had any bounce. The only reason you would be bouncing is because your shocks can't handle the increased spring rate. Did you have GR2's or AGX's? It was stiff as hell for me...kinda like I had rods welded in place of shocks, but no bounce.

Yes i got ground control coilovers paired with knoi yellows. Theyre a great combo. Really nice ride. I dont know what a lot of you are talking about it being bouncy. So yeah, ground controls are made by eibach so theyre pretty good. Not the best thoug. If anyone interested I am selling my set, because im putting it back to stock.
