+1 for progress i love mine and GC/konis could handle it but IMO y halfway commit to a suspension setup with sleeves when u can spend a lil more and get full coils.

everyone has thier reasons and every setup has its pros/cons

a gc/koni setup is HARDLY a "halfway" suspension setup compared to a full coilover setup, especially progressives. and just FYI, the GC/Koni setup that i have did cost more than your full coilover setup. i couldve went for Tein SS's and got it cheaper but i opted for GC/Koni's.

but like you said, everyone has their reasons and setups. different strokes for different folks. you like your car slammed and looking pretty, i like it to handle well.

I like my GCs, even thought I'm on OEM struts.
