Default Give me some advice

I brought my car to the autoshop today to check out my suspension. I decided to buy a set of Coilovers for my "baby". The mechanic guy who is my friend, he said that I could have a good suspension if I buy the Ground Control and with Koni shocks. The sound seemed like more interesting to me when HE said that i could low until 3" or 3"5, but i couldnt find any ground control for SC300. I need help if someone knows where I can order. Thanks

Ground Controls and Konis are not Honda crap. Some of the quickest cars on the autocross are running GC/Koni setups and they'll most likely outperform most other coils out there. The important thing is setting up the spring rates and shock valving correctly. GC uses Eibach springs which are some of the most used springs in professional racing, and Koni has ridiculous amount experience in racing. They are top notch products and quality is unparalleled. When set up right, PBM and all these other coilovers are crap in comparison.

Mike, if you decide upon the Ground Control kit, the 94-98 Supra application should be a direct fit.

Agreed. Koni's have a great reputation, also GC will let you select your desired spring rates. They may be a better option than some of the entry level coilovers, especially at that price.
