Springs and Shocks

Hey there,

I have had Ground Control coilovers on my 1999 TL for about a year now and I don't really like the ride on them plus I think there is something wrong with them and since they are covered by warranty (or should be... still talking with Ground Control), I was thinking of getting a new setup.

There seems to be a bias in the forumns for Comptech or H&R, but I have always heard that Eibach makes really good springs especially for the price. My plan was to get the Eibach Pro Kit with Koni Yellows (which I have heard are awesome).

Does anyone have this steup and if so how is it working out for you?

Does this sound like a better setup or does anyone have suggestions?


Thanks for the help!

Eric

if you're going to spend the cash for springs and shocks, may I suggest you spend the few extra dollars and go straight to coilovers?

Eibach Pro-Kit Springs: $207.81
Koni Yellows: Front pair: $278.61, rear pair: $278.61

Total Cost: $765.03

Tein SS coilovers: $925

these are all prices from here...but you might find cheaper prices elsewhere

Plus, with full coilover systems you have height and dampening adjustability.

i was in the same position . . . i ended up goin wit the full tein ss because the price of getting shocks and spring is equivalent to getting the full tein and i think you get more out of it having 16 way adjustable struct and adjustable height.

i only had it for couple dayz and i love them . . no complaints at all
