The best I've ever had. Installed them, then removed them promptly before installing AMR's almost 4 years ago still rides like new.

Lifetime warranty speaks volumes. Koni/GC. If your serious about the track bit then go for a set that is race valved.

Or another option would be the Eibach Multipro r2's. Shelf rates suck but they can handle 1000lb springs on the valving they come with. They are also double adjustable.

For either buy a few sets of springs so you can mix and match rates for the track to find what you like/what works for you.

If you really don't plan to track it much at all, just go for the stock valved koni's. No point in spending an extra $500-$600 for a set of race valved shocks if you aren't going to be running above say a 600lb spring.

I am glad you mentioned the lifetime warrany bit, but I would like to add something. I have had a lifetime warranty since day 1, and in 7 years I have NEVER had a single blown production damper. Now to me that is proven relability. Now there are companies I see increasing there warranty as a marketing ploy. They are selling the same ole ****, but added a few years to their warranty. There product still fail, and the warranty is done to make money, not to protect you as a consumer or give you peace of mind. Now I only speak for myself here because my warranty was motivated by my confidence in our dampers, and service, but also to provide my clients peace of mind. I have worked VERY hard to make sure each set we send out is up to our standards. A lifetime warranty is only as good as the people who are backing it PERIOD!! I don't talk the talk, I back up my product hands down. I've proven it, I've gone 7 years working my *** off to prove our reliability..and our warranty is the real deal....**** I've really never had to use it haha.

I'm sorry, but I've been in this business for over a decade, and I know 2 companies right off the top of my head who have a lifetime warranty, but it's the same junk sold on ebay. They fail, they have no reliability, and no real support. They are being imported by a few dudes with some cash, and got some money to throw around and eat if anything goes bad.
These are just the simple truths. AND MORE AND MORE OF THESE COMPANIES ARE COMING BECAUSE THEY THINK ITS EASY MONEY!! Well I can't blame them cause there are a **** load of ignorant people out there honestly.

So again, a warranty is only as good as the people behind the warranty. I don't rely on my lifetime warranty, because I make dampers that last!! It's just there to give my clients some peace of mind, and let them know I've had the same confidence since day 1. I don't need to increase my warranty year by year, and use my customers as test mules to see how long my dampers are going to last! 7 years and going strong for us, and I'll keep doing what I'm doing..taking care of our cleints one at a time, and continue to prove we make the most reliable dampers in the business.

They running out of color combinations overseas I heard lol.

Ah yes, forgot about AMR.

Andy I think your right about the color combo bit. I saw what looked like a merger between Ksport and D2 in another thread. Lol. I'm sure you've seen it.

Btw, care to share the companies you speak of? PM me if you like.
