Default springs or coilovers

I was looking at getting the eibach sportline springs until I found coilovers for pretty cheap (I think). Has anybody heard of the Ground Control coilovers? Any experiences or stories?

Only heard of them on Mitsu Eclipses/Stratus R/Ts back when I had a DSM....I didnt know GC made coilovers for SRT4s. I remember the eclipse crowd not being too fond of them though.

I have GC coilovers on my 1991 Stealth twin turbo...the ride is unbelievably bouncy...I'm not very fond of them...on my 1994 Stealth R/T I have H&Rs in the front and Intrax in the rear and I love them...
Most other people I have talked to that have GCs don't particularly care for them...

not to hijack the thread, but this seems like a good place to ask. What is the difference between coilovers and springs? Looking at them, coilovers almost look adjustable or something. Thanks.

Thats what I've heard. Really ****ty ride quality. I had DropZones on my Stratus. Don't know if they make them for these cars. But they were ehhh alright. BLAH! [:'(] I had them with KYB AGXs though...that made it a bit better. But either one your ride quality is going to suffer because your lowering the vehicle. My Miatas really low on the stock double wishbone suspension...and its a hella crappy ride.

Alright then, does anybody have the Eibach Sportlines? I guess I will stay away from the ground controls.

I am sure that they make Coilovers for the SRT-4. If I am thinging of the right thing the ground controls are one of those brands on Ebay for like $100 or somethin. I have a 98 Neon and "real" coilovers for my car are around $900, so I can't see how those cheap coilovers can be any good. I have heard a lot of good things about the Eibachs though.
