Can you please explain your theory why these will ride harsh when down really low. The shock body does not lose any travel when lowered. You do know how an adjustable shock body works right? Ride will be the same with a drop of 1in or a drop of 3in. The only reason getting a bad ride when being slammed would the uca hitting the shock towers.

Exactly. It's all about how they are valved. Read the suspension thread people.

I have experience with gc and kyb agx. Love it to death, slammed and not bouncy at all. It does bottom out quite often though.

I need koni's so i can lower my front a tiny bit more so it's really tucking. Also will bottom out way less and should handle way better.

I'd disagree. I've had 1 piece coilovers for almost 4 years and I wouldn't consider them too stiff for daily use. I've driven across the country for thousands of miles on them and have no complaints by me or other random people who never rode in a lowered car before. They are more then capable of being comfortable for everyday.

No don't read about it, buy what you want and do it in real life.

Best opinion ever. Only way I ever pick my parts is by actual experience.

It's obvious you have no idea of how those type of coilovers work, no matter how much reading you have done. There's irony since all you do is read yet you have not learned how a coilover like f&f or d2 adjust.

Edit: Now he's back to deleting posts again.
