I was about to purchase some Ground Control's(with Koni Yellows), but then a friend of mine said don't do it for the reason of why I'm installing them for. (Backroads: 1 Lane road.) He says they're too stiff and I'll just fly off the cliff, but I'm sure every car has its own handling performance with GC's installed. So he told me to look into coilovers that aren't so STIFF. Anyone have suggestions on what kind of coilovers I should get?

See coilovers are cool, because u can control the stiffiness. (on certain ones) If ur oreding just the coilover springs and cranks than ur gonna need new struts to accomadate for the lower ride. But if u get a full coilover sturt assembly the come with the springs and shocks as one whole set up and u can adjust the stiffnes of the ride through the struts. There's a bolt on top of them. Losen for soft tighten for .......well tight. Don't just order the first set of coilovers u see. Shop around and see wut will best meet ur needs.

buddy buddy buddy. Its all about matching the right set of springs with struts. Konis imo is the best strut assembly out there. They are a lot shorter and stiffer. Now you just need to find the right springs to match the struts.

So what kind of match-ups do you guys have? It just seems to me that many many many people here on 6gc has GC with Koni Y's.

with the ground controls you can pick the spring rate and they will build them to match any type of shocks (konis, bilstein, kyb, etc.)
