The Koni yellow/Ground control setup is a very nice budget setup and i would recommend it. I have no experience with the newer S2 suspension

I run a skunk setup, I have no complaints, typical lowered ride feel on the street and good at the track

Any info on Skunk2 shocks??

They are pretty cheap and they arent adjustable. How are they better than other similar shocks?

kaiba

They're good. But not good enough.

Hows the ride when dropped on GC is it bumpy, handling, durability over time....

TorquelessEM1

Ha,they are good,just not NEARLY as good as Koni/GC's...... Not even clooooseeee..

well i have skunk 2 slip ons on stock shocks, rear are blown to ****, and i think fronts are as well.
doesnt ride horrible but not that good, the skunk2 spring rates are so high the car will never ride good.
no clue about there shocks but im also in to see if they are good.

my frined has ground controls, as low as they can go on his dc and it rides like total complete ****.

look into function and form, i pretty sure they are around the same price as koni/gc but the ride is a night and day difference and go real low.

TorquelessEM1

What shocks is your friend using? The GC's are really not to bad at all if you pair them with a decent shock..... koni's and GC's is just swesome though. great ride and the is just excellent...

98civdx

not sure. ill call him right now.
i know they are thats why it suprised me,
my buddy has them in his hatch with extended top hats,and costum rates, and it rides so fing good, its unbelivable.

TorquelessEM1

I want to ditch my omnipowers for koni's but the budget just does not allow it at this time ............Driving my hatch is just a paain with the rates I have (12k/10k)

98civdx

^^ **** thoes are high! any one know what the skunk 2 ares?? are they say is 500 front and rear?

he said he has tokico illumnias.
but as far as the handle is great, i was also thinking he may just have high spring rates.

TorquelessEM1

My friend has illuminas and GC's ( with integ/del sol rates) and it rides very well. i have tracked it a few times and it help up better than expected. I installed all of it 8 years ago,too. they have really held up....

98civdx

huh, well he bought his car with them on it so theres no telling how long they have been on.

How does GC Coilovers are, on the stock ones...
i mite b planning to get those and put it on my stock and later on Konis...

slide inside

i got some idk what brand coilovers (just picked up this car) thing is ride is really hard and the struts need to be changed. What are the best budget struts and what are the best struts that will go with my coilovers?

TorquelessEM1

Dude,no offense,but I can not understand your post at ALL. Are you asking how the GC sleeves will work on stock struts? Couldnt tell ya. They will blow soon I am sure,and would ride like *** id guess. If you are going to lower a car,do it right and replace struts and springs. or else you just run the risk of doing the work twice...

TorquelessEM1

KYB AGX( i ahve had horrid results with these) and Illuminas( great results) The KYB's do NOT like to be slammed.I have seen countless sets blow out within a year on cars that were not even that low. The Illumina takes wayyyy more abuse and rode better IMHO........... Hope that helps....

EG-SIXV-TEC

oh my bad for the mix up...
I was planning to just Get GC coil-overs on my stock struts and since i don't got the money planning to change it later on.
That sucks because, i'm on a budget and ill just wait and see.
Yea i was thinking that thing too replacing it twice would be a double job and mind as well do it once but thats not option right now.


If i install Koni shocks later will my coil-overs get as bad or no?
how does Koni yellows respond?
thanks..
