Default POLL: Suspension Upgrade or No?

Ok I am thinkging of upgrading my suspension, from KYB AGX and Ground Control (200/180) to some Koni Yellow with GC (400/500 or something arund there).

What do you think? Will it be worth cost? Will the difference be noticeable? If so choose koni! if not choose agx!

omni's are just as much as koni yellows plus gc's. Probably a little cheaper. But you lose on dampening adjustibility.

if those two are your only choices, then go for the koni yellows with custom rate GCs.. its a no-brainer. visit the suspension forum

speaking of the suspension forum... when are they going to include it into the drop down menu to jump to it? it's a pain to have to go back to the main menu to get to there. I didn't know it, along with a few others forums, existed until I went to the main menu one day for something else.

i had KYB/GC on my civic and was VERY happy with it. the KYB's got a little soft after a few months, initially i had them set on "3", after they softened i always had them set on "4" and they were still comfortable and still handled very well. (also had skunk 2 upper tie bars and front camber kit, carbing lower front tie, progress rear sway, omni rear camber kit). unless you plan on serious auto-x or track days/road-racing (NOT street racing ), i wouldnt see the point in changing..... yet this advice comes from a guy with APEXi coilovers on his WRX

koni yellows are def the best strut you can go with if you dont want full coilover suspension... ive had mine on 3 different cars which were all slammed in a span of about 2 yrs and they show no sign of giving up
