The best suspension for what... DD, drag, autox, road courses???

Im looking into getting some Koni ground control coil-overs. I've heard that they are pretty much the best you can get. I found some for about $1100

Just buy some Ohlins and call it a a day.

Seriously though a couple people told you not to get Junk2. Now that you said it is just a DD, why do you want to lower your DD? Just for looks or do you want it for any other reason?

If you are going with looks just buy some Junk2. If you want something quality then there are a ton of options. Do you have a budget?

I cant believe I am going to continue this thread. Progress CS-II are great for DD and comfortable, not to mention very well priced(under $700). I would compare them to the ride in my Lexus. They are doing pretty well auto-x'ing as well( went with a stiffer rear recently). Koni GC ($800-900) are great due to lifetime warranty and being able to get custom rates! I had junk2 and they were dangerous due to how harsh and bouncy they are, My back end would jump out on me at hwy speeds going over overpasses.

u can find them for alot cheaper than that.. If u do a search u will find another thread about coilovers n there's a guy in there that post a place that does the koni/gc setup for around 800. As for the "junk2" if u like them go for it.. I personally have never had an issue with any product I've ever got from them, granted I haven't dealt with them in a few yrs other than pro series springs n retainers so maybe something changed with them. I don't know. Personally tho I really like my Omnis n they can b had for a pretty good price. Good luck

I've got the koni/ground control set up and absolutely LOVE it. It's way better than any lowering springs I've used and better than any cheap no name or junk2 brand.
