not sure how you can go from flex to ground control so easily. If you want the short answer it's "NO". the ground controls are not coilovers... they are springs with a compressor that would attach to your shocks. since your shocks are worn out and need replacing then then adding these rediculous things to blown shocks will end in a disaster. wait and save or buy some adj shocks and eibach prokit springs

I have kyb agx shocks on stock springs they were around $380... I will put on my sportline springs eventually. i think prokit springs offer the best drop on an s14, and sportlines on an s13. you might consider looking into used megan, d2, or other cheaper coils. I have even seen cuscos, teins, silk roads etc. run for around $300 that just need rebuilding. good luck what ever you decide to do

Right now i have KYB AGX's and Eibach pro kits on my S14 and the ride is pretty good, I can handle some crazy *** turns on the stiffest setting for the struts, for the price of the two together, its not that bad of a deal to get started.
