if you are concerned about the quality of ride, the manufactorer of the springs is not important. what is important is the spring rates. A 300lb ground control (eibach) spring is going to feel exactly the same as a 300lb skunk2 (who knows?) spring.
The ground control kit is of substantially higher quality. The perch design of the ground control is quite a bit better, as the skunk2 perches get locked and don't move. The ground controls fit better, and are designed to work with koni shocks.
I am speaking from expirence. I have ground controls and my roommate (AK1200) has skunk2s.
the biggest benefit of the ground controls is that if you order them directly from ground control, you can call them and get whatever spring rates you want. IF you tell them what you want to do with the car they will reccomend rates for you.

OK I had posted all the info you'd need for this thread previously, it's all about the spring rates PERIOD! Ground Control has a better sleeve design since you have just one lock that locks with an allen key as opposed to the Skunk2s with two perches, but ride for ride get some Ground Control 400 pound per square inch fronts for a civic and 300lb/in rears and compare to Skunk2 with the same spring rate you will not notice a difference unstil you have to adjust them and the perches are different. Me and technic1 explained this already, so everyone is posting biased bs without facts , thank you drive through!
