I have the ground control setup + Konis and can tell you from my experience
that you can't lower the car more then an inch without bottoming. I was
able the get 1.75 inches by using GC camber/caster plates. IMHO if you want
more then 1.75 inch drop look at the motivational setup. I am very happy
with my 1.75 inch drop and my GC/koni's. AGX's and GC would be good also
but unless you go above the 300/200 setup my thoughts are on bumpy roads it
would bottom out just like the Konis if set to low (approx 1 inch). IMHO
"if" you go with the GC setup cut off the existing perch and weld on there
perch for a more solid platform and cleaner look. It helps reduce squeaks
and looks much better.
