In my opinion seems kinda expensive to me. I myself like the tein springs with a tokico shock ride pretty nice. It seems to me that you dont want any roll at all which is good. Overall i think its a great set up if you have the money

..and don`t expect any performance gains from strut tower braces and tie bars.

I aint expecting any performance from my suspension. I just want it to hold and handle the road good, and be able to take high speeds on the track.

Do you say go with Koni and GC because of price difference? Or cause Tein isn't a good setup? Cause Tein SS is 950 and GC/Koni is 820. To me 130 dollars is worth it if its better setup, but if not 130 dollars saved is even better. Just wondering. Thanks

i'm not discriminating TEINS but for the 100+ difference in price i'd go with a koni/gc setup and you could use that money somewhere else...and i know for a fact that with the koni/gc setup you can change to different spring rates just like i have...you want something to handle the road and take high speeds on the track but what if you have to revalve the teins to match the different spring rates...i dont know if you have to but i know for the koni's (yellow specific) that your good for up to 550 lbs/in or so...if you do decide to go with the koni/gc setup you could use whatever money left over to purchase those pretty gc extended top hats...or make them yourself...just my opinion do a lil more research before you buy though...there's lots of topics in the archives about teins and the koni/gc setup...good luck

I agree the koni ground controls setup is a great setup. I would look into the tokico blues also they wont put a hole in your pocket.

I say don't waste cash on strut and tie bars. You could save cash by just going with an oem swaybar, didn't tell us what car you have so....., and I'd imagine the koni/gc setup would be a better setup on the track.
