Coil-over kits

I am getting ready to order my coilover kit, and I wondering whose running what? I have been planing on ordering them through Ground Control, but I also see G-force sells them, and the price it cheaper. G-force doesn't list anything about what comes in the their kit online. I am looking for good quality, but also want the most bang for my buck. Any suggestions, I also know I should buy the setup book G-force sells, but I want to put my cash into hardware at this point.

I just have RB swaybars and SE stock suspension. I'd love to help, but I'll defer to those with first-hand experience on this one.

Thanks, I just ordered them. I went through Ground Control. Should get them right after Christmas! Won't get them in until spring though, still have to buy the rest of the suspension parts. It's a start though!

Ground control & g-force coil over kits are bascially the EXACT same stuff...

The g-force guys can do alot of extra work to them if you want to shell out the $$ for their advance custom valves shocks to go along with it. That's the reason they re-sell them.

unless you're a hardcore racer go from GC, you'll end up saving $$ if I recall..

Yeah I saved about 100 by going GC, and that was just for the coil-over kits and springs (which was included with theirs). G-force was about 40 cheaper, but the springs were additional, so they ended up being more. I can't wait to put them in. I am going to dismantle the struts this weekend.
