You get what you pay for..

GC and Koni Yellows would be way better and have a better Warranty.

Scared of the $499 set or the Omnis? I'm starting to believe that Omnis are way over rated.

I'm terrified of both.

You really do get what you pay for and whats $300 more when you're already spending that much to get something that is proven, will last, and has a stellar warranty should something happen?

You could also get the GC with a somewhat less expensive shock like the KYB AGXs and just barely be over the price of those $499 ones. This is also a pretty good setup, but I'd go Koni.

I'm not sold on the Omni's at all, and my Skunk2's ride like butt (same thing really). I think the next set of suspension I get will be a matched shock/strut from eibach or tokico, or someone.
