Coilovers question

[GThomas]

Go with Ground Control if that is your budget.

GC makes and packages good stuff, and stands behind it.

If you can't justify the cost, Ireland Engineering stuff usually works... but you
may get to know them pretty well by the end of the process.

I would not track any of the offshore dampers I have seen so far...

Ground Control were the typical go-to before all the chinese stuff started appearing on the market.

Their kits run either stock valved or custom valved Koni Single Adjustable inserts(Double adjustable as an option), eibach springs, and their own camber plates/sleeves/perches(all of which is top notch - even a few of the high end coilover setups run GC race plates)

I had never heard of Fortune Auto/Broadway Static until around the same time as all the alibaba coil resellers started popping up, like D2/Megan/BC/gekko/etc.

I can't say for sure whether they're more of the same, but they certainly look similar and have nearly identical descriptions to the chinese stuff.

Thank you. So GC are good quality coilovers. I'm kind of leaning towards GC because from the looks they have been around for a while.

I'm hoping i can find some help on here.

My E30 is mostly a weekend/occasionally drive it to work car but i do want to convert the car to a track/weekend car.

At the moment, i have the car on stock shock with lowering springs. This is how i bought the car. I would like to upgrade to coilovers but i'm having a hard time making a decision.

I've been reading about Fortune Auto and they do not seem bad for $1,200. I've also have heard people mention groundworks.

Can anyone give me their 2 cent?

I'm trying to stay around the the $1,600 budget but i do believe in the saying do it once do it right.
