Help me decide: Steeda or Ground Control

This ^^^^ Especially if you don't want to mess with adjusting the shocks/struts. Or for about the same price point the Ground Control Coilover kit http://www.ground-control-store.com/...p/II=929/CA=96 The GC Kit and the Bilstein setup both use a shortened shock to work better with the drop springs. The shortened shock is more beneficial when your trying to maintain a better ride.
I have neither Burton. But, I did read this on the Ground Force link you posted and would do more research, but I would lean towards GF. Good luck bro. Ground Control works very hard with Eibach USA to make these springs to the standards that you demand. Lifetime guarantee on everything, not just springs. No excuses about "racing" or "special". If anything fails, while being correctly installed, it will be taken care of, period. We can only have a guarantee like this because every single part of the Ground Control Street coil-over kit is made by us or someone we trust. None of these parts are made in Taiwan. Everything is made in the USA.
But yeah, I'm leaning towards the steeda. After my discussions with jay at hyper, the GC kit would require a lot more installation work, plus modding the Koni strut to fit/work. I'd then have to buy new CC plates etc... So I'm thinking with the steeda, it's a bit more proven and "common" and straight forward for installation and function. Springs, strut mounts, and that's about it...

Good luck and keep us posted. (Actually, I know you will and there will be a nice/detailed write-up on it as well.) Good luck man.

Just placed the order for:
Koni Yellow Struts (2011+)
Steeda Perches
Steeda Springs (200lb/in and 225lb/in)
I'm reusing my oem strut mounts. If they fail in the near future, so be it, I'll purchase the new HD ones at that time.
I'm stoked!
Now I'm contemplating doing the install myself, or taking it to a shop... hmmm what say you? Only thing (other than cost of course) that I'm worried about for taking it to the shop is, they could scratch my wheels, paint, etc.... ugh..... I hate it when other people work on my car. I have to trust other people that don't care about my car (no one will) as much as I do. Oh well.

Haha! I bought the stuff, but "contemplated" the install. I'm debating just having the shop do the whole install front and rear including alignment for 400 bucks. What you think?
Sorry I wasn't clear. The "HD" mounts I speak of are the 11-14 specific Steeda HD mounts. I was going to get them but decided against it since my oem ones are still good, and I'll replace when ready. The GT500 ones are still 05-09 mounts.

Aaaah okay, the way you phrased it made it sound like there was an OEM upgraded option for our cars. My bad. I've seen a lot of people mentioning the Steeda mounts. They look really nice.

They're the only guys who touch my suspension, and I'm lucky they're local!

Something different... I think the progressive set up is a little too soft for me. I want a linear setup. I might try to track her every now and then in the future, hence the Konis. I got a ride in a buddy's steeda set up and loved it.

I have Eibach struts, so trying to decide on springs myself. The best option would probably be the K Springs or eibach's since they are the same. Shoot me a PM when you decide on how much you're going to sell them for.

Yeah, I've got a ride in a car lowered on the Steeda's and it was a nice ride.
