I have ground controls on the front...and cheap ebay coilovers on the rear...long story. I have them down as low as possible because I couldn't stand the wheel gap and it's pretty bouncy and hits hard over bumps. But I probably need new struts. Overall, I like them and I'm used to the rough ride so I can't complain. You get what you pay for.

Thumbs up Re: ground control coilovers

i have a set of Ground Control coil overs in my stealth. I am running Eibach springs with the same spring rate as my stock springs. the car rides good and handles great.

I just bought some used GC coilovers with rates of 450lb/in front and 300lb/in rear. However, I won't be installing them until spring. Nevertheless, I'll let you guys know how I make out.
