agreed. Even custom GC's and koni yellows can be quite impressive on the tracks.

There's nothing I've seen/driven on that's impressed me more than the Koni/GC combo. That includes the very nice Apex-i N1's, Tein HA, Tein SS, both Tokico offerings, Cusco, and Progress (aweful).

I've riden in a very specialized DA with Aragosta and Zeal dampers. That doesn't count because the chassis is hardly stock so I can't really compare apples to apples.

Ehhh Id use something even more beefy if the car was a track *****... It all depends on what your looking to do with the car. Do you want adjustable damping?

I think the Apex N1's are garbage, myself.

For the most part, a properly pieced together GC/Koni setup with custom rates will be perfectfor rookies to advnced drivers.

What the hell is your question? I don't understand it.

All the setups on our cars are coil-overs, as in coil over damper. We commonly refer to coilovers as setups that are 'adjustable coilovers' with adjustable perch heights.

You're asking about 'full dampers'. Well every one of our our cars is going to have four 'full' dampers. I've never seen a half-damper unless it is broken or cut in half.

Are you saying you're ditching the adjustable coil-over sleeves and going with a full-body adjustable coilover?
