Default Looking for help

i want to buy koni sport shocks and ground control coil sleeves
When i go to the ground control website there is two options
Coilover Conversion kit, 92-00 Honda Civic/ Del Sol(CUSTOM RATES)
$339.00
Coilover Conversion kit, 92-00 Honda Civic/ Del Sol(LIMITED EDITION)
$299.00
im just confused
is it just the coil sleeves that cost that much?
or is it with the strut bars too?
which one should i pick?

please reply
thank you

Contact THMotorsports. IIRC, they have the best price for Koni/gc.

But the GC's need to meant for Koni Sport shocks.

get the limited edition with off the shelf rates meant for koni yellow shocks since you obviously dont know how different rates will affect the setup as a whole.

Not really. You have to pay to play, and quality parts don't come cheap.
