skunk2 or ground control
hey im about to pickup some coilovers. i already have some kyb agx's and im looking at getting either the skunk2s or the ground controls. ive heard alot of good things about the ground controls but never really heard much about the skunk2s. which would you guys recomend.
oh yeah the car is being built for trackdays and autox. i drive it everyday but ride quality isnt an issue id rather have which everone handles better.

I have Ground Control On KYB and they do quite well. I've never had skunk so I don't know. Im sure Eibach springs are better the Skunk though and you can order Ground Control rated however u want

If you want a stiffer racecar feel the Skunk 2s are the way to go, if you want more of a softer street ride, get the Ground Controls! If you havent bought them yet, let me know I can get either.

Re: skunk2 or ground control
Tein Basic is a good product but it is not adjustable except for height? The higher model teins are great but it seems the basic is just another version of a coilover set up to me. I personally like to be able to change my strut settings. On a KYB AGX you can feel a difference on each setting and the car rides diff on different heights and strut settings. The best advice you can get is to research and see what you want for yourself...you get what you pay for. For 700 bucks you are gonna use them for a while and at that price there are alot of different combos available.

I prefer Skunk2 coilovers with Tokico Illuminas. Had them on my old CRX and on my Civic sedan. Going with the same set-up on my hatchback.
