Basically $ 750.00 for Koni Yellows and Ground Control Coilovers or $ 950.00 for Tein SS Coilovers.

Which would you choose? I am definately thinking about either the two but can't make a decision. If I decide not to purchase the Teins then I am going to buy the Konis/GCs. But if I get the Teins, there is always the option of adding the EDFC kit to electronically adjust the dampening rates. So which to choose?

 

Tein SS

 

KONI/GC FTW

experienced both, and would only use the koni yellows and gc coil overs. If you find the springs aren't stiff enough they are only like $150 to order a stiffer pair.

 

Koni/GC or PICs are the current flavor. PIC support seems to be growing with their support of ITR expo and the racing scene.

I do love my Koni/GC setup but if I needed to buy a new setup today I'd definitely look into the PIC Selects (adjustable) since their price is very competitive and they don't seem to have the leaking problem of so many of their similar looking cousins.

 

I have the tein flex with the edfc. fully adjustable at the touch of a button. independent between front and rear. THEY ARE AMAZING! Go with Tein.

 

holy **** batman! i was looking up the same setups earlier. badass i still dont know... not sure if you can really tell the difference in the ride... ? just a name and money is what i came to... EBAY SHOCKS hahaha jp

I would go with Koni/GC, but how about Koni/H&R race setup? Any cons against this setup?

You fell for that gimmick too?

GC/Koni Yellow for sure. Low end Teins are overpriced.

 

koni/gc

 

I'd go with Tein SS. Had them in my S13 and were awesome. If it wasn't for the fact that my DB1 build is under a budget I would have got them. I had Koni/Neuspeed Race, and I switched to Skunk2 Pro series.

 

I just ordered a set of PIC R3s but with your price range KONI/GC is the way to go. You may think about the PIC Apex coilovers. But you'll lose the ability to adjust damping, compared to the Koni Yellows.

 

I have the Koni/GC and like them... never felt the teins ss though..

 

are the gc/konis a good ride, like are they bouncy and do they handle good?? and can you slam gc/konis and still have a good ride without any boucyness or very littlew ??

 

Tein

 

Screw tein, since there production moved to china there quality hasn't been as good as it was when it was produced here.
I am choosing GC/Koni Yellows. Plus the upgradability if your driving habits change like spring rate and re-valving the struts is worth it in the long run.
