I am using some Ground Control coilovers with some KYB Excel Gs and I love them. My car barely has any body roll with them.

Look at the June 9th entry in this thread.

I'm really happy with my Megan Street Series Coilovers.

I have KYB struts on all 4 corners and Ground Control coilovers on all of them as well. Ground Control uses Eibach for the springs in their coilover setup.

That sett up (ground control coilovers) will give you the ability to adjust the ride-height, but no ability to adjust the damper force and no way to adjust the camber angle.

If you get a real set of coilovers (Megan, BC, Tein are the most popular) you will have full adjustment of the ride-height, damper force, and camber angle.
If you want Racing performance for the Track then you should go ahead and spend some dough on a nice set.
They'll run you $800-$1200, but if you want to Race then that's what you should do.

VavAlephVav is correct. I chose this set up because I was not planning on doing many adjustments to my suspension. Also, I wanted a coilover I could reuse when/if I need to change out my struts. If I install the KYBs myself I am only out $200 for all 4 corners and I keep my performance coilovers. You have to weigh adjustability vs cost when you make your decision.

BC coilovers! They're rebuildable and customizable! I have Megan racing but bc are next on my list.

bc coilovers have two different levels for the 6gc. one is street entry and the later is track purpose only. the track version doesn't allow for rebound adjustment. the K-Sport have models that allow for rebound adjustment as well as rear camber plates. Most places will give you the option of changing to swift springs on your BC Set up. good luck. There is a member up in reseda that tracks his car. i plan on taking mine sometime before the summer.

What's the advantage for swift springs vs the springs that the BC coils normally come with?

[BonzaiCelica]

Those springs are supposed to be the ohlins of best suspension just as brembo are the best for brake systems. But how much of a sudden they make, not sure. Search on nasioc forum there's someone there who has experience with swift
