i think you should go ff2 but i heard they don't drop that low.. someone correct me if im wrong.. so if you're looking for the slammed look you'd be able to pull that off with the gc+konis but a bit more pricey.

**i have ground controls they ride really nice.. im still saving up for shocks though

gc/koni is a proven combination. i went with that setup and have not looked back since. i suggest using the search and reading reviews on both setups. im not bashing FunctionForm in anway since I have never used them, but with gc/koni you truely get what you paid for. BTW, i ordered mine from weaksauce.org and received everything within a week from California to New Jersey.

Koni and GC without a doubt. I know everyone says "don't jump on the bandwagon" but there's a reason everyone who knows anything about suspension setups will tell you to go with the Koni's if you're on a budget.

the bandwagon isnt always a bad thing, especially if its such a proven setup.

^ koni yellows with GC standard rate for a daily driver... thats what i got.....

very easy to adjust! rides great... tho if you lower it to much i would suggest using GC upper strut mounts to extend the struts alittle more!


and to instal them is REALLY REALLY EASY!!!!!!
the hardest part of the whole instal is removing the factory stuff in the rear!
but since it says you live in CA and if your car is from that area you shouldnt have any problems.... but to others that live in salt covered roads and climate changes we have seized suspension bolts in the rear almost 95% of the time!

but either way when instaling the new parts be sure to use some ANTISEIZE on all the bolts and shafts on the suspension.. i even put antiseize on my GC threaded nuts/ lock bolts. i bought my GCs used.... shouldnt have done and one of the lock allen nuts has seized in the adjuster and it snaped when i was trying to remove/lossen the adjustment.
