I was thinking about these too. From what I understand you only get a 1 inch drop front and rear with the stock coils after installing these. I am going to save my money and get the real deal.

stiffness is not something that you're gonna get from the stock coils/springs, or the Ground Control sleeves.

if you want stiffer, you want different shocks... otherwise, different springs with higher spring rates can also be stiffer.

get springs if you don't want to spend the money for coilovers. You'll be much happier.

I understand where he is coming from going with some sort of coilover setup. The roads can be very unforgiving to lowered cars. I want to be able to go back to the stock hieght. Especially if you have a underbody kit that is already lower than the stock profile. I can't even begin to tell you the number of times I have scraped the bottom of my kit on driveways and crappy roads here in Pensacola.

the spring rates on the GC sleeves are actually a good bit higher than stock thats what peaked my interest in them. And like Pscyko said I live in a really mountainous region with super steep driveways and high curbs so having the ability to get up high again is something I need
