honestly i know that you said you dont need coilovers, but u can always wait it out until you find a bargain. picked up my coilovers for 700....GAB damper/Height
but i would go the ground control kit.

Save your money for coilovers.

Best mod you'll ever buy.

Do it once, do it right

No need for coilovers... I got skunk2 sports shocks already putting the sleeves over is just like having them anyways but a nicer ride then coilovers...

thats an outright lie. Sleeves are absolute garbage...you must also use some shorter stiffer linear rated springs such as skunk2 s , and good for lowering ONLY nothing else.

put it this way i had pedders springs freggin crap. i have the pro kit cant stand the high ride height not only that the car sits lower on one side more then the other. so tell my the skunk2 sleeves and springs would work well with their sports shocks its the same sort if combination as the gc kit with konis but u can adjust the damper. its a daily more then anything and on odd occasion a beating around corners.

I'm saying all sleeve kits (ground control or whatever) are crap. They are only
Designed for one purpose and that's to give the option to lower a car or raise it at will.
If it aids your handling it's the placebo of stiff stiff springs. They aren't coupled with the correct shock valving to cope with the relative height of the intended setup either.
You are throwing money away dude trust mr just save up get some sort
Of DUAL perch adjustable coilovers , use them then sell later on for a decent resale.

i am going ahead with sleeves because the only way u find out if something works for you is if you go ahead with it. i bought the eibachs and they dont work for me when it comes to the height, stiffness and the car sits lower on one side then the other. off the shelf kmacs are 190 a pair. i will be getting them installed correctly one finger gap in the front and rear might be the same or no gap. and ride qty is a personal preference.

ive been in a car with sleeves in the back. worst ride quality i have ever been in. stiff as shit, bump oversteer, spring occasionally pops out . its seriously quite dangerous.. we ended up swapping over to compressed kings in the rear.

dual height coilver system is the best - spring is trapped and heigh adjustment doesnt alter the spring preload, etc.. learn from others because i can guarantee that after a while of sleeves (give it 2 months), u'll be swapping them out for something more comfortable/safer.

I've had spring/shock, single height coilover, dual height coilover and shock/sleeve..

I would choose dual height then, spring/shock, single height coil, and last is shock/sleeve.
