I would say neither especialy if you live in the NY metro area the ride is way to bouncy especialy if your driving through the 5 boros groundcontrols have a lil better coil on it (eibach) but the setup's are basically are the same i currently riding on skunks and i wouldnt wish that ride anybody jus ask verywhite, queensfinestplaya, or tgcli they have rode in my car and im sure theyll confirm my statement,, in my area i have yet to meet another 8g with coilovers, i currently have a set of drop springs on order so hopeing that my ride will smooth out alot more,,,,the bounce was kinda of fun in the begining but now it aint,,, all that front hopping has got to stop cuz it definitaly cant be good for the engine and plus i have the sds now so i have take xtra care of the engine
hope this helps

get springs man. I totally agree w/ xska. Coilovers are cool at first but the ride gets old real quick. I got coilovers so I could change the ride height, but I haven't changed it once. .

you see now true coilovers like JIC's & Tein's are a totally different story
but now your talking about a almost $800 to $1700 diff. depending on what kind you get,,,, but defintely worth every penny

Get the Ground Controls you wont regret it...

everyone complains that the ride gets old but with the right shocks such as the KYB's, you'll be fine. Plus being able to adjust your ride height in a matter of minutes at any given time is a definite plus over springs.

And GC's are real coiovers they use them race cars and are one of the more respected coiovers on the market.

dude I have KYB's....it doesn't help the ride all that much. bouncy is bouncy. It's not cool when your friends tell you that your car looks like a stone skipping across a lake. know what I mean?

Get some springs, coilovers will give you a migraine with all the bouncing.. Tein springs are really some of the best that you can buy, even better than the GC or the JIC's for that matter.

Mindless. you have KYB GR-2 which are basically a little better than stock.. you might want to invest in some KYB AGX so you can adjust your ride..
