We still haven't named a budget.

PIC are great, so are Koni/GC. If you have to be cheap Progress CS-II is the best budget coil-over there is.

Koni/Ground control.

Period.

Lifetime warranty, select rates that suit your driving needs.

THMotorsports is the vendor on honda-tech. Should be $800 shipped. They might even have a christmas special going on.

Save more money then decide. Money burns a big hole in your pocket. Patience is key to anything worth waiting for.

If you can I would take advantage of the holidays, lots of vendors giving out awesome deals on all kinds of products right now.

Also what vehicle is this for? *sorry if I am blind

MONEY! i've had my gc/koni setup for going on 5 years now and haven't had one single problem, no weird clunks rattles or anything. everything still works perfect, i drag, daily and autox my car.. I had a set of ksports before on a setting that wasn't even tucking tire and teh shocks blew out. they clunked in the winter. i wasn't satisfied at all

i have a buddy with a 350z with some full bodied and they make abnormal noises in the winter, he hates em.

and a buddy with an is300 that had some d-sports that did the same thing. and they constantly clunked.

I've rode in many and the majority of them ride like ***, especially if you slam the car. the koni/gc is a constant ride quality no matter what the ride height is.



whatever you decide i hope you choose a koni/gc setup with the appropriate springrate to fit your needs, you'll be more than happy. everything else is junk

Just because you haven't had any problems with them doesn't negate the fact that they are substandard.

I haven't had health insurance for 5 years and have had no problems which warranted it. That doesn't mean it's okay.

You can keep saying it but it doesn't make them any less crap product.

I got a set of f&f type 1's. I never rode on any other coilovers before though and I upgraded to the type 1's from cut springs so I think theyre great. They are great for DD.
