I have Ground Control / Koni setup , I think its a good deal. Also, spring rates aren't 10K like TEINs or BC's, so more appropriate for street IMExO.

used coilovers aren't a problem if they are in good shape (duh) and decent mileage.

If that's no good, you can go with Comptech Adjustable Springs which give you the ability to adjust your height...I believe there is another spring that allows this. The ride will be a little more rough though, so you might want to look into some shocks like Koni Yellows after a while.

Good luck!

I think there's a set of Spoon coilovers for like $800 new. Non dampening adjustable, just height. Or something like that.

Or if you have a little bit more $$, there's a group buy for Tein Flex right now for like $1250 or so.

if you don't auto-x or track...why waste the money? Konis and springs should be more than enough.
