Ground Control Coilovers????

i was just wondering if any of you guys have ground control coilovers on your CL-S. for those who have them, are they any good? does the coilover makes any noise and is the ride harsh or not? i had skunk2 coilovers and they really sucked. the ride was real shitty and made a lot of loud knocking noises. so if you have ground controls can u just post up how it is and if its worth getting.

dude... go with springs instead off coilovers. the coil's give more of a bouncie ride from what i've heard.

I have Ground Control coilovers on my TL. The back is adjusted al the way down and my car doesn't bounce at all albeit it's a bit stiff.

do not use those sleeve coilovers, they are horrible. My shop used to sell them to every civic and teg and they would all come in w/ problems. Broken sleeves, the coils would crack. GC is the better of the sleeve coilovers though. But i rode on them for awhile and was not impressed at all. The car still hasn't ridden the same, those things fuck w/ your suspension and should be left for cheaper cars.
