    if youre looking for performance, go with Koni Yellows and GCs.
    I went with the bang for the buck kind of deal with Tokico Illuminas and Tokico springs. I got a fenominal deal on them. Couldnt pass it up, and I would recomend them to anyone. They are nice for the price.

    got my Ground control coilovers for a deal, and got tokico hp blues because i was on a budget.

    ride is great though.

    .....but this thread has been covered before, i just dont feel like digging it back up.

    everyone is going to tell you gc's with koni's, but not everyone is a baller and can afford that....lol

    Currently riding on stock struts + Ebay coilovers.

    Whenever I have money to upgrade I'm not getting GC/Konis.

    I want the KSport adjustable dampening coilovers.

    Join the bandwagon. GroundControls w/ Koni yellows, they are a proven setup. However if you can't get the Konis, Kyb agxs are good for the $$$ aswell

    Ebay > #1 Nopi Coilovers Halfwit, duh!

    I guess I'm the only one riding on Ebay coilovers and it's smooth, been riding like this for the past 3 years too. A few inches lower and rides just like stock, soft suspension with no bounce.

    I got ebays and they ride fine to me.Not all bouncey like most ppl are saying.But I wanted somthing that will handle in turns.I went to gc website dont seem like they sell the struts and coilovers together.Anyone know where I can find them?

    I have KYB Gr2 (Oem replacement) struts, and eibach pro-kit . I was short of cash. But when I redo my suspension it will be with koni yellows and GC's .
    Although, my budget suspension has done pretty well at Autocrosses so far, and I havent blown out my struts yet.

    Kyb and Koni are both great shocks, the koni's get the advantage as far as the adjust ability being better, the kyb agx's knob doesn't give the range of adjustment like the yellows. that being said, if you like a stiff setting the kyb agx are still a great shock and cost a little less. ive ran the same set for nearly 5 years now

    There are several venders all selling these under different names.. all work decent at first but are quick to blow seals and dont perform very well on shock dynos.. for the money i believe there are better setups to be bought

    I've read a lot of reviews from the KSports on H-T & haven't heard anything negative. A couple of my friends used them also (TSX & EK).

    KYB GR2's are Oem replacements. I have them on my car as previously stated. They've been through a couple rough autocrosses, and they still havent blown yet . Although i'm waiting for them to blow so my wife will let me get some konis .
