Default $800 to spend.. Best bang for buck?

Looking for a quality full coilover.. What do you guys think the best thing would be? I've been reading up on D2's and KSports, heard lots of good things bout them.. any input?

Thanks.

$790 for Koni/GC with custom spring rates. $750 for off-the-shelf rates.

this is the best bang fer yer buck in my opinion, and many others who run Koni/GC with great results.

Koni / GC. You'd have to spend 3x as much for a better setup.

Yeah, I missed that. You can get them from just over $800 shipped from Chris at RedShift Motorsports, and I have yet to see them cheaper.

I can only vouch for what i have driven on..... So ksport/d2 are coo, and so is tein SS for that price range...

But the koni/GC is a proven set up by many, and if you can get it for under 800(at the time i bought my suspensions i could never find that deal, plus i just feel more comfy with an all in one system from one manufacter) I would say go for it, just take no shortcuts in installation.

It's pretty much the only suspension worth running that doesn't cost 2,500 bucks.

Free shipping on orders over $150. $119/ea shock, plus $280/ots $320/custom for the GCs. They have the whole 'kit' for $750/ots $790/custom. This is by far the best deal I've seen. Its also nice to support a racer.

Man, the Konis keep getting cheaper and cheaper. Really no reason not to buy them now.

He is, I beleive his name is RedShiftChris. I'd shoot him an email or phonecall; the contact info is on the site, and it's a better way to get ahold of him.

I ordered from Chris @ redshift motorsports last Friday. The camber kit arrived yesterday, the shocks today. Still waiting on the GC coils, but those should come shortly. Good vendor, gave lots of good advice before the purchase.
