Default Help...About to purchase new Koni/GC...Any sugg. where? Rep. sites? Sites w/ deals? Experiences?

Wsup guys...im in the market for a new suspension setup for my 95 cx hatch...im goin for the famous koni shock/ground control coil setup that i hear basically nothing but good things about...im looking around for where i can order them, preferably together to maybe get a better, package deal...i kno theres a few site sponsors sellin teh konis in the sponsor section, but they mostly seem to jus have the shocks, id prefer to order the coils and shocks from the same, and also reputable, site...even if i dont get a package deal on them it'll just make things easier...
...i kno theres a deal on HT in the sponsor forum through the GC website about the already assembled shocks, coils, and upper mounts, but thats about a G, whereas im workin with about 8 bills, max...so thats not really for me...any suggestions guys? information on deals? or more importantly, accounts from personal experience? the help is greatly appreciated, thanks guys...

ground contol is offering a special for honda-tech members:

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1355904

This deal basically gives you the top hats for free.

unless you buy used or get some smoking *** deal (and you probably won't be able to choose your rates) you may not find something better than this.

For the money, there is not a better setup you will have to spend $1000 MORE to get anything better

save up for a few more months, don't waste your money on something only to find yourself buying GC a year down the road..


Go get part time job for a month to make the additional $200 or borrow it from your mom,
or something.
But get the money and get the G/C Konis

Crazydave, i def. agree with you, and the fact that gc/koni is THE way to go, i jus meant in reference to that specific deal w/ the upper mounts, i was planning to go with the deal on that redshift motorsport site, it has just the ground control coils w/ koni yellow shocks for 809 shipped, minus pre assembly and the top hats, thats probably what i was gonna go for, because of the savings in 200 bucks, although i realize it comes w/o the upper mounts...my plan is to go with gc/koni regardless, im jus lookin for where, what deals, and how much...

My recommendation, simply because of all the advice and information they gave me through email before I ordered, including helping me choose spring rates. Good pricing and fast shipping didn't hurt my feelings any either.
