I was thinking about getting Ground Control coilovers too. I would sell my Eibach prokit, are they easily adjustable? how long does it take to adjust them? how low can you go?

I am currently running Ground Controls with Tokico non adjustable and I dont really like the setup. I mean it is decent but if you are willing to fork out about 600-700 for this then might as well put out a little more and get the apexi's. I have sat in a car with that setup and the ride seems nicer with it and it is a coilover and shock setup that is made to work specifically with each other.

so for the apexs, you can use the stock shocks? and there will not be anything bad happening to the stock shocks? also, is your ride (chinoz tl) with the tockicos and GCs better than the ride would b running handr sport springs and stock shocks? and when u say you dont really like it...doyou hate it...or s it ok..?

Eibach makes the springs for Ground Control, so you know it is good quality. As for how long it takes to set them up, you will get different answers. It's a quick twist of the wrench (~5 minutes total), but most say you need to almost get a professional to do it, so each side is setup EXACTLY the same way, for safety.

The apexi's come with new aftermarket shocks which are made specifically for thier sleeve and springs. SO you get a hole new setup. I don't really hate the GC's, the handleing is great and the ride on smooth roads is decent. But you really feel the road and bumps alot more.....I also live in a city where the roads are pretty bad so that might add to my opinion. If you dont drive through rough roads alot then the GC's won't be that bad

Keep in mind you have aftermarket shocks.....I'm running stock shocks and the ride isn't much stiffer than stock...my wheels make it rougher than the suspension
