Koni/GC is awsome. F2 is good too.

1300 dollars?!? where the hell are you looking where they are selling type 2's for that much...type 2's only go for 800 bucks...the 1300 dollar ones are probably the 2.5's...what exactly do you plan on using this set up for (daily, track, both???)

dang i guess they really did go up in price, theres a local shop here in socal that sells them for 6 bills still but since you need somewhere that ships so i suggest buying them from here

http://www.weaksauceparts.com/store/...at=2528&page=1

there are lots of really good reviews from that shop plus they are offering 50 bucks off according to the main page so check that out before you make a purchase

For 899, i would look into a koni/ground control setup. Don't get me wrong F2's are good but for that price you could do better.

Also,progress coilovers are great. I belive are cheeper then f2 type 1's
