Default Apexi N1 Damper vs. Koni Yellow + Ground Control

This post is on the Civic section as well, but I realize this question can also be answered by Type R owners who have either of this setup. I am about to change my Tokico Illumina for either the Apexi N1 Damper or a combination of Koni Yellow + Gound Control system. Money is not a problem in this case, but I want to know which is a better choice? My car is going to tracks and it is a daily driver for me. Please give suggestions and explanation. Thanks a lot.

So nobody has comment on this question? Please let me know how you feel if you have either setup in your R. Thanks

Sorry to hijack the thread, but you guys that are running Konis/GCs, what kinda price range are they? And wheres a good place to buy?

Do you have to have the Konis revalved to run over ~500lbs?

I got my Konis for $500, GCs for $300.

380/450s and Neuspeed Koni's. Very happy with them.

You should revalve around 600 or so, that's the upper limit of the shocks.

So I guess not many people own the Apexi N1 Damper system huh? I have heard a lot of good things about Koni yellow + GC, but have not heard anything about Apexi. Anyway, thanks for all the comments. Thanks a lot
