I have been on Sportlines for 15000 miles and I love them. The ride quality is awesome, and shocks seem to be holding up fine for now. Will be upgrading to some Koni yellows soon though

You usually get what you pay for so I wouldn't be interested in buying coilovers that cost $400 while others go for $1000. To the OP get sportlines cause you get a good ride, aggressive stance, and better handling. Here is what mine looks like on sportlines.

I think those are basically adjustable springs. They replace your shocks or anything. But I dunno.

the only difference between ground control and other coilovers on this site is that u have to pop the hood and adjust a few things on most..ground control u have to take off ur rim..for 600 dollars off i'll take off my rim if i was looking for coil overs

$200 shipped in a Group Buy from APlusPerformance. You are making a good choice and you will love them.
