Good Coilovers?
Can anybody give me a respectable brand in coiilovers? I have heard that the cheaper ones handle poorly and I dont want to compesate handling for suspension. Please help thanks!

ground controls are decent.
in general coilovers dont handle that well, you trade usability and function for convenience of height.
some to stay away from: skunk, weapon r, some times i think tenzo is bad brand too.

i generally like to stay away from companies that "do it all" -- i.e. not good at any one thing.

Ground Control and Skunk2 are respectable.

so wait, you guys are saying that if I just want a 2-2.5 inch drop, I shouldn't go with coilovers I should just get springs?
my planned setup was to go Koni yellows with GC's, but I only want to go for a 2 inch drop. what spring would give me good handling?

That's what I have and my buddy has them on his '01 GSR... it rides REALLY well and handles great!
