Default help: Koni yellows, or tein basics?

hey, i was wondering if anyone knew anything about the two setups.
Its for a 92 integra.
Right now i have tokico blue and skunk 2 coilovers. and the ride is horrible.
so what i wanna know is.
With koni yellows and ground controlls, will my car have a smooth ride
and be super low, ( tuck tire ) and will it be like the tein basics.
then my other question is, with tein basics can i go as low as i am now?
I NEED OPINIONS! THX!

You can't slam your ccar because with your set up, it takes away all suspension travel and you bottom out. Plus they are under dampened with the tokico blues.

I run gc's and koni in both my cars/ I bet my 300#f 350#r handles much better than basic tein. I can also revalve my shocks and get stiffer rates for the eibach springs. Those blues are just garbage. Why don't you just buy the konis and put them on the skunks?

Basically these setups are the same if all you want is to drive it on the street and have a "sporty" ride. But if you want to have a competitive setup with more potential then get the Koni yellows/GC. 2 reasons A: you can adjust the koni shock dampening and B: you can change eibach springs easily and get custom rates for your exact setup.

Oh and the koni shocks are super easy to adjust and the coilovers are also easier to adjust than skunk2s.
