Coilover Options

Im now in the market for coilovers. I have been planning on buying a Ground Control for $1700.
http://www.ground-control-store.com/.../II=839/CA=180

But Ive been looking into a lot of other companies and hearing what people have said and I dont know what I should buy. The car is my daily and will continue to be until I buy an FD which will be my new daily.

I plan to buy NEW(trying to support the industry), but my concern are potential for growth, re-saleability, durability, and the rest of the obvious stuff.

Car will be driven as a daily buy comfort isnt my biggest issue. I do plan to use the car for drifting and auto-x

So if anybody has suggestions please post a link to a dealer.

Too bad you won't go used, you could get a great set of used coilovers at $1500. For new options at around $1700 I would look into entry level Zeal's or HKS hypermax 3 sport.

Ive looked into putting together AWR coils and i just makes me want to stick with Ground Control. They come with Koni Shocks and Eibach Springs. Both companies have fine quality and are race proven products.

Ive been looking at the awr kit. Where would I go about ordering the shocks and springs(Im not sure about sizing)? Looking into it seems like it may be in my budget.

Ive reading about Silkroad, Cusco, HKS and alot of other brands but Im having difficulty finding distributors. Can someone help me out?
