Icon2 Godspeed vs. Yonaka

I'm trying to decide between these 2 full coilovers setups. They are whats in my price range and I'm just looking for some second opinions or even some experiences. If anybody knows of another coilover in this price range then please feel free to enlighten me. Thanks in advance for any help.

I havent really heard anything from either. However the few things I have read usually end with Yonaka being a decent street coilover. You can search on here and on d-series.org, they have a large thread about yonaka and godspeed.

When I first bought my car, I knew I wanted "the good stuff" a.k.a. Koni Sport shocks. I saved up for 8 months before I was able to buy those and lowering springs. It was hard riding around stock ride height for that long, but now 8 years later I have never regretted it.

Moral = save up, do it right, be happy.

i think functionform type 1's or skunk2 pros, but would really reccomend you save, they are both good, but will not last like a set of koni/gc.

Check out Progress if you don't want to wait and save up.

Koni/GC, use stock top mounts, or GC extended ones for about $100 extra, or make your own from stock donors.

But you don't really need them unless you plan on being super slammed.

i can definitely vouch for F&F Type I's
i have them and love them. the spring rate is just perfect for a considerable low ride height.
i bought them 2 months ago. lets hope they last. 1 yr warranty only.

I was thinking about getting the Godspeeds, but now I think I'll just stick to the Koni GC route lol.
