Re: what is the best suspension set up
yeah...reason is-
koni makes, arguably, the best mass market damper available.
combine that with arguably the best springs in the world, Eibach, and put them on a well-engineered sleeve for height adjustability and you have, in total, a wonderful high quality option for street and track abuse.
all of those setups you listed have compromises. it might be the R&D behind them, it might be the spring material...it might be the tuning between the damper and the spring. alot of people use them, and they are popular, but when you break it down you'll find the overall package of the koni setup to be ideal, especially if you are using it for more than a particular look.
my 2 cents...

No need to bump this anymore, your question is answered. Koni/GC is the most reliable, longest lasting, and relatively cheap option available.
