I know buddy, but that's pretty cheap for coilovers. And hey, if they get the job done, and perform better than stock, isnt that what we're looking for?

Yes, but the difference is $250.
For $150, you can improve the handling of your car.
i think that's a pretty sweet deal, to tell you the truth

I think everybody is trying to tell you not to skimp here. If you have to buy the GC's anyway because these bounce/break/whatever, you will have wasted money.

Those arent true coilovers.If you read what it says they fit over your existing shocks/struts. If you buy the GC setup you get springs and struts (Im assuming) for $400 bucks, with the "coilovers that you want to buy you still need to supply the struts unless you want to keep you stock struts, not a good idea if you ask me. I say buy them, if they suck let us know so no one else makes the same mistake

Yes but vosko, they probably used cheap strusts also. Im looking to mate these coilovers to some KYB adjustables... perhaps??
the bounce is definitely a job of the struts, not the springs, however, i know what you're talking about when you say "don't skimp out on this part". The springs will obviously sag in the near future, but hey, that's why they're adjustable

I have a coilover question, was gonna post a new thread but I guess Ill just put it here. Are Ground Controls actually any good?? I mean, I can afford the $350 or so for them, but it seems that theyre soo cheap compared to most other coilever setups, which cost near $1000 or more. I dont really race my car, although I do plan to do a few autoX's just for fun, but I do want my car to handle well, and maybe lower it 1.5" or so. I know Ill need a camber adjust kit too, but are the coilovers themselves actually any good, or just cheap things that suck. Thanks.
