I'm running on a set of KYB "Super Special Gymkhana Race Coilovers" (what a long name ). I got these suspension last xmas and after tracking on them for 6 track days, I decided to up the spring rates and start buliding the car into a trailer queen.

They are really the best bang for the $$. I don't understand why KYB USA didn't even think about selling these dampers here. For under $1000 you get great performance (up to 20K springs) and the jay dee emmmm bling.

It replaces the rubber bushings so that the feedback is much more direct and responsive. But the drawback is that pillowball joint wears out much quicker than rubber joint/bushings.
