I dont have any experience with coilovers, but im pretty sure most ppl will choose the Koni/GC set up. I have heard alot of good things about that set up.

I'm a GC w/ Koni user also. Been working great so far, especially for a lowered car. Tire profile also helps with ride comfort(bumps). Made a difference for me going from 40 to 45

I purchased k-sports from jlbmotorsports before. First off, the company is one of the best around. Best customer service/communication I have ever received.

However, my one k-sport shock blew after 11 months of driving, and I do not beat my car. My drop was just enough that the tires were tucked about 1/4". The ride comfort was pretty good at the height, and the car handled great. The shock blowing is enough to try and steer people away from k-sport though.

Go with gc/koni. I have had multiple coilover set-ups and can say that gc is the best around by far. I have used tanabe, tien, skunk2 and apexi. They were nothing compared to the gc/koni combo.

You should probably stay away from the Koni, heard they blow.

Not only are they great for dd, they are also great for "messing around". You will not regret buying them.
