Default impression of koni yellow/gc

amaaaaazing...

even tho i had trouble w/ the right rear lca bolts, it was worth it 'cause the car is soooo solid now. it feels like my steering wheel is easier to turn also. i can just feel so much more control of the car and i tested it tonight driving around town.

even put on my new 17 bbs wheels too w/ kumho's. so i went from an all stock suspension (even stock michelins) to this amazing ride now. ok now that suspension is out the way, time to work on the go-fast mods

Nice! Its a great setup.

I just put the GC/Koni combo on my 89 Civic. That car is unbelievably flat and auto-xes very nice!

I also just installed a gc and koni yellow setup on my car recently, and I love it. I have in the past had skunk2 coilovers, and they were better for drag racing, but the ride was really harsh and traction was bad on rough roads. The gc/koni setup doesn't have this problem, I can corner faster on the gc's on most real roads. However, the skunks had no noticable body roll and with the ground controls they is still a bit (good, since this helps you to feel where the limit is), but the skunks seemed better than the ground controls when used on really good roads. Overall, I love the ground controls and will keep them on my car. If my car was track only, I would consider the skunks or ground controls with stiffer springs. One more thing, I found the ride on 17" rims to be better with the ground controls than either stock springs or the skunks. One thing to consider, with the skunks and with stock the 15" rims that I own (13 pound) felt much faster of the line than my 17's (20 pound) and had a much smoother ride. Try putting some 15's on for a few days and see how you like it, you might be surprised (I have not tried 15's with the ground controls as I am waiting for my new tires to arrive before I put them back on the car). For reference, I drive an integra LS.
