I am guessing these 2 kits are same thing more or less just different springs?
ground control are $650
paragon are $730
ground control are $650

The big difference is the top hats. From my own experience the ground control spring hats suck and will need modification to work properly. The paragon kit uses racers edge hats which are a much better design.

Huge difference between Eibach and Hypercoil springs from what I've heard.
I went with Paragon...Jason is the best!
Very knowledgable and a stand up guy if anything isn't right.

IRRC Paragon includes the Racers Edge shock mounts, whereas GC includes their own mounts..which in my experience are complete garbage and WILL leave you stranded.
Buying the Paragon kit is like getting the GC coilovers plus the Racers Edge mounts for half off.

Hi Mike. Can you elaborate on this? I have GC mounts on two racecars for several years now without any issues but your statement has me concerned. Thanks
