Question on Coilovers

I was looking for a cost effective coilover that will work with the stock shocks. I saw 2 on Tim's site. The Ground control and the Shunk2. Can anyone tell me what the difference is and which one is better.......also if anyone has em and whats the hieght adjustablity on them. Any input would be appreciated. Thank You

I'd go with the ground controls. I have them and so do many other TL'ers on this board. They use eibach springs and they utilize a single locking perch which makes adjustments quick and painless. I have my Ground Control's on pretty much the lowest setting and there is no bounce at all, albeit the ride is pretty stiff though.

I say go for it and slam that TL!

Adjustments are a piece of cake. First jack up the car. Then you use the provided Allen key to unlock the perch. You then twist it either clockwise or counter-clockwise depending on whether you want to raise or lower the perch. All thats left is tightening the allen screw again to lock the perch and you're done. It's that simple!

Question

Do you need to get one of those caster camber kits if you get the ground controls??
