Default ITR suspension

Ok, so the car I bought came with a funky suspension. Tokico blues in front with skunk2 coils, the rear is fully threaded h and r coilovers with helper springs that pop over every single decent size hole in the road.

Is koni gc the best option? What suspension would you recommend and why?

Yes. Warranty, ride quality and price.

The yellows alone are closer to the $475-525 range.

Check the market place on here. Koni/gc can typically be had for around $800 shipped.

Why?

You do know the GC's have to be Koni spec for them to work, Right?

Personally, I would never buy Koni's used. You will not get the warranty. And I think GC's are the same.

You have an ITR and don't want to spend a little more for a good ride?

If you have regular GC sleeves now, you cannot use them with Koni shocks.

If you've nailed it down between those two I'd say AMR all the way, AMR is good stuff. Everyone seems to be very happy with them. Lots of write ups via search function. And they may still be running that 20% off deal in the marketplace.
