ground controls

have been searching around for springs for a long time now and has read up much about springs because i was planning on tracking soon. was absolutely set on getting the 9th gen s techs but then while talking around, ground controls somehow came up and i realized that not many people talk about them among corollas. i am making this thread because i would like to know more about them. their "coilover conversion kit" costs about 2x as much as s techs so would it make a difference from stechs? and does anyone have them installed?

S Techs are low but they are soft & bouncy from what people that have them have said, not the best spring for performance but good for looks if you want a low Corolla. Not sure about the GC.

the GC coils are gonna be super stiff on your car. if you're gonna get the gc coils for full price, you might as well save a little bit more money and get a full set of coilovers like megans or teins or something.

i wouldn't use the gc coils with the factory struts and shocks. i mean other people might but if you're worried about handling, i'd upgrade to something better
