Anyone with ground control super street coilovers?

Given the option and the money, i'm seriously considering these, they seem to be the best option for the price. Has anyone else here used them?

I had a GC setup on the FD and it was great.
Very supple/compliant...I was surprised how nice the ride was.

+1 I've not used these personally, but I've heard and seen good things with these down at the autocross track.

I've got it. Its ok. Build quality (materials, machining, welding) is good, but it could use some better engineering/design, some thought to instructions, and some customer service. Its better than Megan, JIC, TEIN and all the low end crap, but you could probably build something better yourself.

Ask me any questions you want.

this is probably the best kit out there right now for the serious racer. its not bling, but they actually sell you good shocks, and since its component based you can repair it if needed.

so its way better than the JIC/Megan junk.

we have something similar on my friends GTUs, and with 400/250 springs it actually rides better than stock, handles way better.

Yeah, you can't go wrong with konis and eibachs... ask them about upgrading the front dampers to koni 8610 race inserts. I don't think they're that much more and are valved much nicer.

I have 8611s (the double adjustable versions) on my corolla and they're pretty awesome.
