You also don't have to worry about uneven drops, and you can adjust your height for the "perfect" look. Mind you there are several different versions of the GC's, and custom spring rates are available for an additional price.

I'm starting to sound like a Ground Control Rep.

No, no; by all means; I need the info. I'm still reading up on the GCs, and truly want to go with a quality setup and I've read nothing but good things about them. Here's one good article I've found so far.

But that guys changed and revalved so much, I'm not sure which setup would be right for me.

Therefor, I do have questions about how to really guage what spring weights I'll need. I basically want a firmer, lower ride, without filling-rattling harshness.

I will want to be able to crank it down to be stiff on occasion. I won't be tracking the car, just every now and again going out for spirited drives.

So how to pick spring rates?
