my buddy at radioshack says ground controls are the best, since they come with Eibach springs, but I see some arospeeds on ebay for 1/4th the price, anyone know what the difference is? How can a spring be worth 4 times the price?

My friend said that the cheaper springs (anything under ground control) will make ur car bouncy and not a very smooth ride, he has the gcs on his car and has it lowered almost to the ground and he says it rides like it was stock heightjust with much better performace

not true. g/c's will stiffen the ride substantially, depending on what spring rate you get. you have to understand these aren't meant to slam your ride, they are performance parts meant for auto-x or other motorsports requiring suspension tuning. so in conclusion, no they won't ride anywhere near as comfortable as stock but thats a tradeoff with the substantial reduction in body roll they provide
