    i have never had any of the full coilove set-ups but i have omni drag rears onthe awy and sport fronts. i will let you know what i think of them quality wise. the ride quality wil have to wait since my motor is not done yet. just make sure you do your research and see what ppl that have actually had them are saying.

    edit: are you asking about a full coilover set-up or sleeve overs?

    stock shock's. i know if you buy ground control you have to buy for a certain shock. i dont think you do with omni's or skunk2's. so if i decide to change shock's then omni's or skunk2's will be my best choice right.

    Ive used both ground control and skunk 2 on an ek i had. They both rode pretty close to equal.. but skunk 2 has my vote aswell.

    Honestly, any of the three are going to do what you want them to do. They aren't going to ride that great because you're leaving the struts stock.

    I would say that what ever you get will blow the stock struts in short order, and then the spring rate isn't going to matter much. As an example, a shop I worked for installed a set of GC sleeves on an Acura 3.2CL Type-S with stock struts. The right front strut blew when we set the car on the ground.

    Both FTL on stock struts. The stock struts just can't handle the spring rates.
