Koni / Ground control.. Leaves you some $$ for sway bars or bushings.

X2 KSports FTW. I love them. GEt them from tunerzimage.com and ask for Miles. He sells them for the best prices ever. I believe it's $590 shipped? Hella awesome.

I have tein's. But I agree that koni's with gc's would be pretty solid and would leave you some extra cash for sway/strut bars.

ive had the omnis and koni/gc combo...

i feel the konis are WAY better.. BUT.!!!

if PRICE is an option, then go with the omnis... its not bad really and its actually real good for its price...

if it isnt a factor... go with the the koni/gc

KONI and G/C ftmfw . i have omni sports and they are just a little too soft/ bouncy. I wish i had the dampening of some koni's.
