The Koni's are the only true "sport shock" you have on the list. I don't know too much about the others except they have a low price tag(KYB and Tokico). Never heard of "kport".

What models are you looking at?

koni's are the best. if you want coilovers, go koni shocks, GC coilover, and Eibach springs

baically its you get what you pay fo. i have kyb agx and i like them. it has a nice firm ride and they are adjustable. but konis would ride even better and they will last longer.

I have kyb with ground control on one car and ksport on the other. They both ride great and I have had no problems.

While that is "good" it is hardly the "best".

Motons anyone?

They are in Georgia actually :) Remote Reservoir. Very nice!

When I was at Fall-Line in Chicago and they were building Grand Am Cup M3's they ALL got Motons.

did you not see the part where he didnt want to spend more than a grand? And he probly doesnt want to spend a grand per side.

But yes, motons are the best and ohlins are very good too. ive never used ohlins but ive used motons and DAMN!

Oh I missed the grand parts.

What model Koni's and KYB and Tokico's are you looking at?

Considering Bilsteins?

GC doesn't make the extended hats for Nissan... Id say go with the GC/Koni setup.

GC/koni/eibach FTW. really. Look at any national level car, if they arent on motons, they are on these

+1 for these even though its no where near what the O.P is looking for. My friends retired speed world challenge e46 M3 has motons and that cars turnss.

KYB's are nice but if your in the market and can afford Koni's then why not? They are amazing. Also consider some bilstein heavy duty sports? I have those and they are nothing short of an amazing shock. I would not recommend tokico or that other brand. Friend has those on his E30 and they are not impressive.

Camber Plates :) I am sure someone makes 240 camber plates to work with GC.

So if money was not an issue who would you all choose for suspension for a track setup:thinking:

^^ motons are hella expensive... EVEN for hondas! (http://www.kingmotorsports.com/category.aspx?cat=42) i can ride good and buy 4 more extra setups and leave them on the side with that money lol

Go to YoParts.com, good prices and reliable service. Got my tokicko HP blues shocks (both fronts and rears) and Skunk2 lowering springs for no more than $450 including shipping and handling....tokicko shocks total around $290 and and Skunk2 springs around $150. There are other product for cheap as well, if you not interested with tokickos or Skunk2 products. Search on the catalog section.
