I hope you guys know that the GC kit is used for weight balancing. It has a linear spring rate and the ride is going to be very harsh. It is not your typical lowering kit, it was designed for autoXing, and roadcoarse. It being adjustable is a plus but i don't want to knock on you guys or anything, but if you're not going to use it to balance the weight of the car which is its whole intention for racing, go for the Eibach.
Then again its just my 2 cents.
well, i want the ground controls for the following reasons:
- adjustability of height obviously - good for winter time
- lowering for better suspension, handling
- lowering for better appearance
- lowering to the height of my liking:
this is important because i have 4 huge speed bumps i have to go over in apartment complex. the gc kit allows me to adjust according to the height of the speed bumps. with others i wouldn't have any control over that.
maybe the kit is designed for your stated reasons, but for most people IMO, it's the ability to raise or lower the car according to season, environment, mood, owner's liking, etc. that is the biggest appeal.
