QA1 has some nice coil overs. How much are you looking at spending?

Take a look at the Ground Control offering, and change your shocks as well.

im not really sure. I was just trying to see if there was anything out there tyhat was of good quality but not so expensive. Im just wanting to hear from people about other good coilover kits.I heard the LG kit is the best, so if i cant find a kit that is good and will hold up, i guess ill pay the extra money for the G2 system.

For the money I don't think you are going to beat the LG coil over kit. The only complaint I ever had was having to hold the collar while tightening the spring stop but that has been solved on the new kits with threaded alum. bodied Bilstien shocks.

I have always thought the QA1 stuff was pretty much just for street/strip use and didn't handle road course work that well. Ground control I don't know because I haven't used it but I didn't like the front kit from the pics they have on the site about it.

I'm using the Ground Control kit front and rear with revalved Bilstein shocks for the front done by Sam Strano. I'm VERY happy with my purchase and saved a lot of money over buying the LG kit. It's been on the car for 2 years now and I haven't had any problems with it at all.
