Ground Control Coilovers and KYB Struts

I just got offered Ground Control Coilovers and KYB struts for my '95 240 (Total Price: $675.00)...How's the deal and is it a good buy? I'm open to any type of comments you guys have about these coilovers and struts.

0k ill try to help ya out.
GC coilovers arent the best out there...espically for track racing. Its a good upgrade from stock suspension but there are better coilovers out there..of course they cost like 700 dollars more but they are better quality. Its a good suspension set up for the everyday daily driver that would want to lower there car more then 2". Hope that can help ya out

i'm gonna have to go with the gc and kyb setup. Th reason is because the guy who's gettin' me the part knows how to install the darn thing. I have no idea how it's done and I feel like he's not gonna install it if I don't purchase the setup from him. Also, he's trying to run a crew here and I kinda don't wanna be part of his crew.

thats simple as IMPROPER installation... he probably means the spring coming off the perch when you hit a pot hole or a big hump at high speeds...

dont worry about it
