Default Koni, Ground Control, Eibach

After much contemplation... I think I have finally decided to go with a Koni yellow, Ground control coilover, and custom eibach setup. A few questions...

I read a while back there are 2 versions of Konis out - one to avoid, the other good... can someone fill me in which is which?

Are there any ITR owners here with this setup that wouldn't mind posting some pics?

Any SF Bay area ITR owners with this setup that wouldn't mind letting me check their car out?

Does anybody recommend a place that sells these for a good price.. or a total package price?

Thanks
Jon

For a long time koni did not sell an 'eternally adjustable' unit for the rears - you would have to remove the shock from the car to adjust it. They sell the externally adjustable version now, so there's nothing to worry about.

There are usually a couple of sponsors advertising in the wheels/suspension forum in the sponsor area. They're usually "can't beat it" prices.

Here's one: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1132268.
