Some of you guys may remember that I've never liked my suspension setup. I want to change it. Right now, I'm riding on Neuspeed Race Springs & KYB GR2 shocks. I have no problem with the shocks but the springs didn't give me a nice even drop. My rear is nice & low but the front of my car is too high. (pics below)

Here's my question. I can either get Tein S-tech springs, Eibach Sportline springs or Skunk2 coilovers. What should I get? I want Ground Control Coilovers but it's hard to find the ones that go with my KYB's. Ground Control is very specific as to which of their coilovers go with each shock manufacturer.

Please advise. Thanks.

i can let you know how my Megan ones go....once i put them in, which should hopefully be tomorrow. i also have some shocks to go with em;) hahahaha. so far, id say go with a set of coilovers. i know skunks would be a little bit of a high spring rate for those NYC roads, but that way you can level out (visually) your ride height, thats why i bought coilovers.

Skunk2 coilovers FTW!!!!!! They are a great nice medium ride. Its awesome to have height adjustability especially if you plan on adding any type of extra body parts(lips, kits) or larger wheels. I personally have the Apexi WorldSport N1 coilovers. Awesome ride, awesome handling. I always worried about buying a spring/shock combo from two different manufacturers since they are engineered for different situations and uses. If I did go w/ two differents brands I would appropriatley want full adjustability on both ends; spring height(coilover sleeve of good quality), and damper adjustability on the shock. Otherwise, go w/ a true coilover that is a matched set from the get go.

i've had mine for about a year now. They take bumps better than stock w/ big wheels but stiffen up nicely as soon as the suspension becomes loaded.

Skunks would be really harsh in NYC. They are harsh around here. I am thinking about buying a full coilover set.
