Default coilovers?

alrighty guys....im new to the whole fixing up a car thing. Slowly learning. Now...my question is about coilovers...as i look around, i see coilovers and springs and other shiet. I know regular springs need shocks to go along with them and stuff...but my question is, what about coilovers? Some of them just look different compared to others. Like ground control...i just see the coilover over system and with teins, i see the coilovers and then some. Im plannin to get the Tein SS damper system for my car, but would i need shocks with those coilovers or do they have them already??

i will have some ground-controls for sale soon, they are fine if you get a good strut/shock to go with them...

kyb agx /tokico are okay

konis or bilstien are best

the teins will work just fine, and a camber kit would not be a bad idea.

It depends on what your building your car for.......
Yes Tein's are nice put what is your plan for the car?

There are coilovers(tein, h&r) and then there are coil sleeves(Ground control)

Get the TEINs, I have had mine for 3-4 years. I have the SS line also, though I recomend buying the FLEX series.
