K&N Intake.
Airmass Header, HKS Hi-Power cat-back.
Ground Control Adjustable Springs, Koni Yellow shocks, suspension Techniques Anti-Sway bars front and rear.

If you're getting spring rates stiff enough to even bother calling coilovers, chances are you're not going to find a shock/strut that will properly dampen it. If you do, congratulations for spending more on your shocks then most do on a set of entire coilovers(camber plates, pillowball mounts, springs and threaded adjustable dampers w/ height adjustable mounts.)
Ground Control are good for people who can't get coilovers for their cars (volvos and stuff)

GCs with anything else

..but paying that price might as well get teins, tanabes etc..like you said its not worth the money, imagine there is better supension out there for volvos aside crappy gc'si ride tein ha's
i had skunk2's and it passed. it just depends how anal the place u take it is. i raised mine up and never had any trouble passing. so just raise it up and see what happends.
