are there any other coilover kits out there other than the ground controls for the classic at a cheaper price???

Aerospeed, APC, and other "performance" companies make coilovers, but they are a waste of time and money. Get the GCs, and you will be happy. Mine go on Saturday. Happy happy, joy joy.

what spring rates are you going to use?

And do tell how it turns out as this may very well be my next mod.

I'm going to say this only once, so listen up: You get what you pay for. Ground Control is the best, everything else is a complete waste of time and money. Buy a set of $180 coilovers and they work as well as a set of $180 coilovers.

i dont need anything more than just using it to lower my car, i wont be autocrossing or anything, probably just more drag racing. i just need something i can "adjust" to my taste, or the weather......

SERboy, I use myself as an example. When I bought my car, it had the same 17" wheels it has now, but it was not lowered. It looked horrible. Not thinking about the future, I bought Arospeed coilovers. The car looks great, but unfortunately, everything that could become loose in the car, has become....loose. The ride is sh*t! You feel every single imperfection in the road. It doesn't matter if you're not planning on autocrossing, these springs will ruin a perfectly good car. Do it right the first time! Pay the extra money for the ground controls. If you don't have the money now (which was my excuse), save! Better to pay the $350+ now, then waste the $150 on the others.
