I'm lowered /w JDM KGmm Springs... 40mm roughly 1.5"...
IMO, the only coilovers I'd get for my car would be groundcontrols... considering nearly everything else I've seen are really cheap. With GC's (or any coilovers), however, I'd want to get adjustable struts (Koni yellows)... the kybs just aren't gonna cut it... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

I have Ground Controls. They are good overall but unless you really need adjustableitly I recomend going with springs. Then you wn't get the notorious ground control "pop". Why do you not recomend going with KYB and ground controls? I mean I would love to get Konis but I just dont think I can justify the price. cormudgen |

its winter, but usually I'm lowered about 2 inches on GC's and Konis. I wish I had waited for JIC Magics, or just settled for the Eibach Pro-kit. as much as I love the height adjustability, having to get an alignment after any significant raise/drop is a real pain in the butt.

I'd only get coilovers for racing purposes. KYBs are stock replacements, and don't neccesarily out-perform stock struts. It's all about the cornering ability with an adjustable suspension set-up. If you have the adjustable coilovers, why not the struts also? They are worth it, performance-wise. Trust me. If you've ever track raced, it's very noticeable. It's like taking a hard corner @ 60mph with limited body-lean and good grip, with minor understeer (although I'd typically weight-shift, oversteer, overcorrect, and powerslide the corner, then come out again with slight understeer at the exit)... as opposed to noticeable/heavy body-lean, because of the noticeably softer suspension... In other words, depending on what you get them for. I'd only get coilovers for racing purposes, and since I haven't raced in a few years, and I drive my car daily and enjoy a soft ride, I'd not get coilovers... considering it'll only be for 'looks' purposes. Performance-wise, they're very worth-while. Looks-wise... well... don't even get coilovers and konis... get airbags... =] -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

BEFORE DROP:
 AFTER DROP:  INTRAX springs with little bit modification, 6 cm in the front, and about 5 cm in the back... Im a little bit bouncy, but i will get new shocks in the spring, after that i think everything will be ok. -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...
