    Ground Control coilover conversion kit question

    preferred shocks to use?



    spring rate suggestions for a car that is mostly a dd (besides some spirited drives from time to time), some auto x might be in to future.

    whats the normal complete price including shocks?

    I think Eibachs are the regular pairing. But for what you're getting into why coil overs?

        IE Stage 3 springs + Bilstein Sports are a great setup. H&R race springs are the same springs. Unless you want to go really low or be able to adjust your ride height at will, there is no need to get coils.

              IMO, the biggest reason to do coilovers is you can swap out your rates to basically anything you like. If you start out as a DD only you can start with softer rates. decide to track it, pick up some inexpensive used springs in the rate you like and swap them on with basically the same suspension.

              but, bolt in kits work well and they're simple. just less flexible.
