Skunk 2 makes lowerings springs now, Neuspeed and Eibach are my top recommendations along with Skunk 2.

I have Eibach Sportline. They are great. Almost no tire/fender gap. I've been riding on stock shocks for the past year and still rides great.

If you an adjustable spring height "coilover", I give the nod to ground control. I have heard that the weapon R will sometimes seize, preventing you from adjusting the height (I HAVE HEARD). As for threaded shock/spring type deals, stick with the major players. Japanese brands will ride a lil more stiff, because apparently they like em stiff over there. And whatever you do, DO NOT get those crappy arospeed/obx/adr/bs brand coils because they are MUCH CHEAPER. Once again, this is one of those things where you pay for what you get. If you suspension is a piece, you can make all the power you want and go nowhere. If your suspension is sweet, you will use all the power you can make. Don't skimp on it.

how much of a drop do u want? if u want in between 1 and 2 " drop then comptech has some good springs along with h&r sport springs for under 200.00.

W/e bro. have you actually tried Arospeed, R1, etc coilovers or riden in a car that has them? Probably not. And you dont get what you pay for. Ground Controls are bouncy as hell and blow ass in my opinion so i guess you dont get what you pay for. You can go out and buy cheap ones that are just as good and pay way less.:finger4:

i have sportlines and agx shocks i love them. this is the only setup ive had so i cant say they are better. the ride is great. and i love being able to soften the ride on long trips.

yeah i think the agx are a good bargain. illuminas cost like 500-550.u should check out the suspensions packages at www.modacar.com

That's alot of anger for my opinion. I did know someone who did not like his arospeed springs, or his OBX header. I used to sell these type of parts, and if you knew how much they costed them to make you would be suprised. Just from what I have seen and heard, I hear less complaints from people who shell out more money for their suspensions than vice versa. I'm glad you like your suspension: I was just stating a point that seems to be a generalized consensus.

BTW, what type of damping were used with the Ground Controls?

CHEAP ones that are just as good?? Doubtful. I agree with Maurice on this one though...You DO get what you pay for...Every now and then you luck up and find a good bargain but they're usually few and far between...Especially when dealing with performance automotive parts...So yea, I'd say stick with the proven "good" stuff.
