    So many people run this setup that it isn't even funny anymore :p

    I run the GC Sleeve (aka Coilover Conversion Kit) kit with Bilstein Sports and I like it alot.

      if you are gonna run GC's coilovers on Koni's just buy the full kit from Ground Control.

      GC with Koni's is probably best inexpensive setup you can get, really the next step up is an additional $1k.

          You posted links to the GC sleeves and Koni inserts, if in fact that is your plan, you will be 80% of the cost of a full kit.

            I did the bilstein's and I like my car low, inorder to be low, I was on bump stops on the bilsteins. Already had camber plates and now I'm gonna be getting the koni's since the bilstein's were on bumpstops and bottomed out so many times they are now messed up. And yes I did like Jay suggested and shortened the bumpstop before install. Go all out or don't do it at all is my thinking.
