I'd go with the Skunks. There is just something about one perch that doesn't sound right...

single perch systems are fine. only differnce between the two is that and spring rates as well as spring length, most if not all skunks are 7" wile ground control you can get springs in 7 and 8" lenghts. both have spring rates custom to order.. its all in preference.

I had Skunkworks (now Skunk2) and now have Ground Controls. I ordered the GC for the customability of rates and length of springs like he said.

The most common rates are 500/400(Integra) and 400/300(Civic). They sell other rates seperately.
