Red face need help lowering my tl

I was just wondering anyone can tell me where and what kind of coilover kit i can get for a cheap price and doesnt make my car bounce. I want like a 2.5 ro 3 in drop in the front and a 2 to 2.5 inch drop in the rear. i looked on ebay and i saw some ground control coilover set and i want to know if anyone has tried these coilovers before. if anyone can give me any info about finding some cheap coilover kit that doesnt bounce that would be very helpful thank you

F&F and Megans are cheap. I've never run Ground Controls, so I can't help you there.

My friend had Ground Control's in his Integra GSR and loved em, I think he ran koni struts and that thing handled like a go kart, given it is like 700lbs lighter

where is the best/cheapest place to get F&F's? i google searched and nothing really came up for the 2G TL. does that mean we should look for the 98-02 Accord?

if you plan on dropping your car considerably don't go with the ground controls.....my buddy had them and the ride is NOT good with them set at the lowest setting.....i have tein basics on my car and the ride quality is much much better(and im almost all the way down)

no they are not imo... not if you plan on going wide wheels or super low.. or what they offer for the TL.. not THE best unless its mono flex with the 3 locking ring setup with the adjustable lower body and preloaded spring

ground controls are great stuff.. your buddy probably slapped them on stock shocks or some other ones that weren't meant to go that low..

pair them with koni or bilstein shocks and you have one good setup

I had or still have ground controls on stocks and they ride aiight, not so much dumped but when I swapped the shocks it wasnt bad at all. But if you get GC coupled with a really good shock, might as well buy full suspension

they were paired up with koni sp3's so no he wasnt on stock shocks and it rode very rough
