They work, they're just not the same quality as coilovers.

Like they say, "You get what you pay for."

I had them on my Tiburon. They are koo for the drop but then when u hit a bump u bounce. So i would suggest to get good good shocks but the best we have is the non adjustable Tokico blues.

Civics and integras run them with KYB AGx and say they run like a dream. Ive rode in them and they are comfy and Slammed. But when i had them with KYB gr2 (similar to factory shocks) they were tight and good for the first couple months then they bounced again.

REAL coilovers (jic, tein, D2, ksport, etc) are totally different. They are Stiff and u handle on a dime.

I wouldnt mine trying Groundcontrols with tokico, its worth a shot. but they go about 350. and tokico is around 350. thats about 700..

I had GC on my accord as well, and they weren't worth the hassle. Not only were they extremely bouncy, the locking screws became frozen over time rendering them useless. I'd stay stock before going this route ever again.
