Default Suspension nuts chime in. In the market for suspension.

SO, Im thinking what I want to get. Let me know what you guys think about the different dampers. I've already made up my mind on springs (ERS) so no imput needed. The dampers I've listed I've never had experience with. So if you know of something else let me know.

Thanks for your opinions.

I've been running revalved Koni Yellows for 2 track seasons, and they have performed well beyond my expectations.

On the HKS I dont think you can change the length of the coilover itself. That is a feature that I look for in good coilovers.

You can't but its an outstanding coilover so I thought I throw it in with the rest.

How about my set of Zeal S6s? Minus the springs since you wanna use ERS?

Go Koni

Spring choice is obviously correct

Take a look at Ground Controls AD's too.

I have always thought that asking people you don't know what you should buy is a little silly, but my opinion is revalved Konis.

I would buy the shortened SPSS3 dampers that Koni is making in limited quantities. Not cheap but a whole lot less expensive than getting OTS Konis custom valved. I know Strano Parts has them as a regular stock item http://www.stranoparts.com I have no heard really good things about TrueChoice lately, but it's really just rumor.

To me the advantage of buying Konis is they can be rebuilt by a lot of people. Don't know about the others on your list.

regards,
alan

Sorry if I came of as an ***, I did not mean it that way.

Polls just always rub me the wrong way. Not your fault and I should not have taken my opinions out on you.

if the car is going to see any street driving, no advanced design. they dont like harsh bumbs.

i would realy go with revalved koni and gc with ers springs. all that other stuff is realy just bling. the zeal isnt bad but the shock dyno tells all.
