just remember that you get what you pay for.. If you're gonna get low end coilovers you mgiht as well get the Ground Controls for about 3-4 bills.

Why save $150 on fixing up a 30K car. Go with quality.

how can you spend the money for high quality Comptech parts then skimp out on suspension? Go with a good set of coilovers from Tein or Zeal

Has anyone had problems with Gorund Control? I was planning on getting them for the time being on the stock struts and stock wheels until I can afford the tiens and rims and do it the right way.

Ground controls are a lil soft from what I hear...might experience bottoming out issues. Also in a year...the shocks will be gone and will need to be replaced. My friend has GC on his legend and it rides not bad...but his shocks died quick.

thanks for the info. That works good for me I just wanna lower it now quick and cheap. When I move the begining of '04 i wont have to deal with the shitty NY/LI roads so I either wanna drop the shit out of it with the Tiens or get air bags. For now the GC's are sounding better and better

why buy GC coilovers then buy Tein's? You'd be better off skipping the GC's and going straight to the Tein's, IMO.

You got an extra $500-600 to give me? I cant stand how tall my car sits, I've never waited so long to drop a car that I've owned and its killing me. My plans were to drop it with the GC's until I have the cash flow to do something else (Tiens or Air Cylinders) plus the Tiens with the electronic control arent out yet anyway. I'm looking to do it for looks rather than performance.

if you buy the GC's now, it'll just take you even longer to save up enough money for the Tein's.
