Will Ground control coil overs effect the handeling alot on my '01 Integra GSR? Im afraid it might make the handeling or ride worse. Or will it improve handeling?
Thanks

improve handling yes improve ride no. basically no matter what kind of aftermarket springs you get you will get increased handling but the ride will not be the same anymore, so you basically you gotta sacrifice something

yo..
if u invest in coilovers, go w/the the full coilover.
u dont have to sacrafice ride quality. the only time ride quality comes into play is when u mix and match. ie: ground controls w/koni, ground control w/tokicos. full "quality" coilovers r set up spefically to compliment each other. i'd say generally anything under 1.5 inch drop isnt noticeable. but as u go lower thats where ur ride will change..
remember for most part any after market shock is going to be stiffer than the stocks. might not be the same for the spring rates, that i'll have to check. but if ur not planning on lowering ur car more than 2 inches, i'd say go w/the progress springs..any lower and u might want to consider their coilovers...i have a set myself..i have it on 17's and its dropped to where there is no gap between tire and fender well. and i love it..it doesnt even feel lowered..oh yeah..sorry to be long winded, anything lower than, umm..i'd say 1.75 inches u might want to think of getting a camber kit for the ride.. if u have any more questions, hit me up, i'll try to help.
