Koni Yellows with Ground control coil overs are awesome. Ive used kyb agx with ground controls for years now and its also a good setup.

A crx with a b series on a low budget? HMM. I think u will be fine with kyb gr2 with any brand coilovers. Dont get the ebay ones maybe ground control or suspension techniques.

you think , because they only lower the car about 1.5 inches lower but would that setup handle better than the ground control coilovers

Are we talking about Ground Control (full) coilovers or just the slip-ons, cause I can tell you the slip-ons are worth anything. Mine as well get the Ebay slip-ons + stock struts like me :goodjob: . It rides just like stock, smooth & doesn't bounce, not stiff either.

If I had the money I'd definitely get either Omni or Skunk2 full coilovers.

Dude there is no comparison between ground control slip-ons vs your ebay junk. Especially on stock struts. Ill put my gc + agx setup against your ebay junk any day of the week. Its commonly known that the coil overs on ebay (cheapos) are typically QC rejects and the spring rates arent even uniform amongst springs in a set. Not worth risking your life over.

^^^Agrreed

now, the title was LOW BUDGET.

I think Ground Controls are not typically considered LOW BUDGET. Costing $300+ they go for big money, and i would not put GRound Controls on stock 15 year old struts.

If i had little to know money to spend on a suspension setup, i would get the TEIN S TECH SPRINGS AN KYB GR2s. nice simple setup, good quality products.

EBAY is junk, you get what you pay for, an kevin your car feels like shit. no offense, GC will PWN your EBAY stuff.

I would'nt put anything on stock struts. Might as well hang yourself! Yeah GC is kinda expensive, but gr2 is where to go with low budget!
