^ Forgot to state the obvious

 

Progress. Progress. Progress. If you have the money. Koni/Gc. Koni/Gc. Koni/Gc.

 

if you have the money AMR AMR AMR.

otherwise Koni/gc. and this is easily under 1k. besides amr this IS the best option.

OR replace whatever else yearly.

 

I just installed progress on my 2K and I must say for the price and that you can not adjust the shock they are really nice. I wonder how they were able to create a spring with adjustable ride height that can ride nice on a shock. Anyone know how they are valved?

I have had GC/Koni and it is not as good as progress as the progress do not make creaking noises. Again not 100% sure as to if it was the setup or what, it was like 9 years ago.

 

Progress CS2, best bang for the buck hands down.

 

i got function forms on mty hatch. the rides pretty smooth, and i havent had problems with my suspension. i've had them for about 2 years now

 

None of the above, if you have $1,000 to play with go with Koni/gc and use the rest for an alignment, or even to replace other parts on the suspension.

 

K sport seem to make a good product under 1k.

 

Koni/GC is getting expensive now. Last I check, per shock is like $150 & $350 for GC. I paid $850+ 3+ years ago from THM.

 

I thought it was in the market place for under 900 shipped?

 

Don't know. I haven't check recently. And it's $700 for CS2 at THM. So you have $300 left for front and rear camber kits and an alignment. Might go with these on future projects.

 

Did a quick google.

$565 at robear racingl Shipped!

 

CS2's were running like 600 in the marketplace but were out so I got a good deal on godspeeds RS(under 400)... They aren't horrible. I imagine they'd be the same as the next "pre load" coilover.

 

Are those made from California? I think I've heard of it. How is it? Compare to?

 

Definitely look around for Koni/GC. I KNOW you can get that setup for $500-700.

 

No, impossible for brand new items. Google it.

 

I stand corrected. Best price I could find was $495 for Koni Yellows and $285 for GC coils. Both with free shipping.

 

And where is this? Reputable? The total is $780. You're off. Haha.

And the GC's for $284.99 bnib on eBay...satisfied?

 

No.

 

You're killing me dude. Throw in an extra $45 for GC's that will actually fit with Koni's. Final answer.

 

Good job/find.
