Default HELP ME CHOOSE WHICH ONES!!!!!

Upgrading my suspension from crapy ebay coilovers, mistake, to something really nice. DO it once do it right! Cant decide on Tein Flex Coilovers with EDFC or the Ground Controls with Koni Yellows. I want the option to change height(coilover kit) but also a soft ride or a stiff ride when needed/wanted. Ive heard great things from both! What do you guys have. Which is better for me. Its my kinda my DD but i only drive i a few times a week. Track every now and then but mostly the Blvd's/Highways. Boosted w/ almost 300HP and 225TQ. What say you brothers?!

I currently on the Koni's and Ground Controls and love them, and would recommend them to everyone. I don't know much about the Tein Flex so i can't comment on those. But from what i've read, seen, and frmo my personal experiance you can't go wrong with the Koni's and GCC.

i can get the GC Koins for about 1000 and the Tein with EDFC for 400 more......SO yes i have the money but im just wondering if that 400 is for the TEIN NAME. no what i mean. im not worried about spending the extra cash, espically since i can have EDFC with the teins. but is one better then the other? performance wise.

Even though it seems like money isn't a problem, but the koni's and ground conrol's go for about 825.

Sponsor section. I've seen the shocks go for 500 with free shipping, and 325 for the ground controls.

yeah i would say with ground control buy them from them direct or from someone who knows which ones they are selling exactly because they have specific coilovers for specific struts. but you can usually get a pretty good price on struts on ebay.

do ya really need a camber kit????
i have coilovers now and there is no wheel gap. WELL you can almost fit your pinky-fingere inbetween the wheel and the femder. and the tires sit fine. no uneven wear, no slanted tires.....i dont get it why others do it but mine dont?

eh, true, but its kinda "baller"
WELL HERES THE THING!. can you get accurate with adjusting it yourself. ive never tried it and dont see how it works. just turn it and count clicks? can u mess it up. im sure the computer could do a better job right? or is it easyer then i think

super easy, all you need is eye-hand coordination haha. count everytime it clicks. if i set the setting to soft or stiff i test it buy pushing the bumper support downwards to see how soft/stiff the bounce is. and done! save myself $300. if u want the "baller look" spend the $300 towards some HIDs or a nice JDM Type R Valve Cover.

GC - https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1398572 and if you want to order from their site then http://www.nolimitmotorsport.c....html part number 1020.02 and you can order the koni yellows from them to; https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1093669

This should be in the 825 price range.
