Some people do have problems, but if you keep them clean and lubed up, you should be just fine.

ditto. But that the fact remains that CO sleeves suck on almost every aspect.

GC makes some of the better sleeves, but if I were you, I'd look into some true coilovers.

i thought ground control used eibach springs? so wouldn't that classify them under true coil overs? work with me here, i'm not quite sure what a true coil over is, i should really do my homework on this stuff.
also, what company do you think makes the best coilover? |

True coilovers come packaged with an integrated spring/strut combo. These perform by far the best. Sleeves are just springs with an adjuster on them. These will still need to be paired with a separate strut. GC does use Eibach springs, but they are the ERS spring series.
