ground control is good. if you do get them, i'd suggest pairing them with koni shocks or atleast bilstein ones..

springs .. do you have any specific one in mind?

For the price of ground controls with a good pair of shocks, you are off better getting function and form coilovers.

Needing a camber kit depends on how low you are.

you are proably going to need a camber kit at least for the rear, the front you can get by with being pretty low without needing a camber kit

weak shocks, or shocks not strong enough for the new stiffer springs (especially the back ones, and not so much the fronts, but they still play a part in the ride)(stiffer springs don't help ethier)

Shocks are going out or the springs have a low spring rate.
