    Default Suspension?

    Ok, i have koni yellows (externally adjustable) and eibach sportline springs (1.7in)

    Looking for something that wont lower my teg soo much. I now have a 3inch header back exhaust and im having clearance problems (I cant go over speed bumps with my spotlines) so im having major clearance problems. I want something that will give a good daily drive but also great cornering (going to auto x) Anyone have input on the eibach pro kit springs? Or any other springs i should look at?

    well, adjusting Ground Control is easy, if you have an allen key ( forgot what size) you can adjust it right on the spot, just loosen with teh key and turn.
    if you have the money and you always have to go past steep hills, driveways or alot of speedbumps, look into gettin some air struts ( godfather i think) they ride just as smooth and dont make alot of noise when you adjust it up and down...thats what i got now.

    I had eibach pro-kit on my e46... ride felt smooth, it was just what i was looking for and reasonably priced.

    Ground Control just makes(resells) the little aluminum threaded sleeve with the aluminum perch....they pair the sleeve up with Eibach springs (basically just as a middle man for eibach...why put a no name spring on your product and restrict sales?) You can buy the springs from Eibach for under $50 each....or anyone really, Tein sells them for that also (not the S-Tech crap) and you could use a no name coil-over sleeve.
