Standard OTS konis are nice, but they leave much to be desired. Back in the day you had to send them off to a Damper Performance shop to have them revalved and modified (shortened damper body) to hold up on the track.

Earlier this year Koni introduced the 8041A racing damper, which is everything the modified ones used to be. Only it uses the newer SPSS3 valves, which are a little more forgiving. I'd suggest those with GC 500f 400r springs if you're going for a good handling suspension under or around 1k.

If you can spend a tad over 1k, then I'd suggest Progress Technologies Type1 coilover. You order them with custom valving and spring rates - and they're designed to be "user friendly" when it comes time to rebuild them.

Form&Function, Omni, Godspeed, Ksport, Hadukens, and Ninjakickcheapjdmoffhondatech coilovers are ALL made by the same manufacturer. They use the same basic damper (made by Tokico - ftl) and the exact same parts with different names on them. Save yourself the heartache later and buy a quality part.
