Default Coilovers...anyone installed them?

I'm considering coilovers when I get new rims(18s). From my research, they seem to be more versatile as far as ride height for summer vs. winter. Just want to know how the install went. What brand coilover is good?

If you want a true coilover system, contact JIC Magic. They have 2 models, SF-1 (~$1200) and FLT-A2 (~$1800). With this, you can even modify your front strut mount area to accept camber/caster adjustment plates. If you want a fake system, then the Ground Control sleeves ($400) is your option, and you will need upgraded struts ($400). I haven't seen the JIC Magic, but people that has them are very thrilled with them, however, currently, there is an annoying rattling sound from rear, and they are trying to resolve it. I've installed the GC setup and it's typical of any suspension upgrade procedures. I personally don't like the ride quality, since it is rather harsh, and we had to cut the bump stops to half its size.
