I ran the ground controls with SA Koni's. I thought the GC's were a great setup, though I eventually went with a different spring/shock combo (drag race setup). THe GC's give you the ability to adjust ride height to your needs.
I still have the rear GC's and a pair of rear 150lb springs. Let me know if you'd like to buy them - they're just collecting dust.

I had ground controls and kyb's when i had the v6 engine in the car. The ride was terrible and the shocks blew out rather quickly. I was not happy with that combo.

What are your goals? Track only car? Daily Driver? Autocross? Road Race? Drag Race?
Each of these answers will help determine whats best for you. Keep in mind there are quite a few really good setups that work for people, but that doesn't mean it would be a good idea for your needs.
And be honest with yourself about what you really want/need.
The SA Konis' are adjustable in only one direction (I can't remember if it's the rebound or compression) and the DA (dual Adjustable) are adjustable in both directions. The DA's are overkill for anything thats not a serious track car, plus they are $$$$.

I found the Level I (essentially a 1LE package) was GREAT for daily driver and good for road racing, perhaps the autocross guys could chime in - I never ran any. You'll find that in road racing the weakest link in the f-body is the brakes, not necessarily the handling.

However, the freaking understeer was horrible till I freed up the rear from those damn rubber/poly bushings, different sway bars, decent springs and shocks and a T2R.
Only then did I find the brakes were a "weal link". But it's all relative ...
