Eibach springs + KYB AGX's versus Ground control coilovers + KYB GR-2's

I don't have any experience with shocks and their "feel" and was wanting some opinions on which route to go with. I can get both of these set-ups for around the same price.

1. Eibach sportline lowering springs with KYB AGX adjustable shocks
2. Ground control coilovers with just plain KYB non-adjustable shocks

which would be better for every day driving with occasional drag track for 1/4mi times and stuff?

oh and also, I'm undecided between 17" and 18" rims. Would getting 18's influence the suspension decision more one way or another compared to getting 17" ?

Thanks in advance

Eibach Prokits w/ AGX's is better for track, but even those are too soft for some people. Sportlines are TOO soft period. I don't know much about ground control coilovers besides I don't want them. I'd try the AGX's w/ Prokit springs. Go w/ 17" wheels. 18's serve no purpose unless you have 6 pot calipers to cram in them.

ground control kits use eibach springs....only advantage or disadvantage, is height adjustment

well I am upgrading my front brakes to Z32 brakes and cals, so stopping an 18" rim won't really be a problem. Thats not part of my decision. With 18" rims, pro-kit eibach springs, and KYB AGX shocks, do you think my car would be sitting low enough?

Both are to soft, I have sportlines they arnt low enough I still have like a 4 fingure gap, and sportlines are stiffer than pro kit btw.

prokits are stiffer. i know people who have run both, and i've felt both. sportlines offer more drop b/c they're softer.
if you have a big ass wheel gap, get meatier tires.
