If you get in on a Fortune Auto group buy, then that's right in your price range. I've had 3 sets of them and getting another set on my new car. I've used them for daily driving and at the track (VIR and Summit). I absolutely love the way they ride and I wouldn't buy any other coilover in the same price range.

Thanks, that's something that I'm gonna have to look into. I see that a lot people here the Koni/GC's, but do you do you guys think about the Koni's Full Coilovers??

You know for some reason I always thought that Tein were the best Coilovers. Also to be honest I love Omnis and to me Omnis are better than Tein. I just went to Konis main web-site and I see that they make this full coilovers and they look amazing, but I don't know how they ride. Also they are on my price range.

Here's something to consider, we live in VA... the roads SUCK lets face it they are terrible(for the most part). If you blow a Koni, you can ship it back and get it replaced for free (Haven't done it but I believe that's their warranty... or they rebuild it?).

Not to dis the other companies, I've ridden in cars with the tein's and they ride pretty smooth for the most part. K-sports on my brothers civic blew when he was living down in Norfolk, and I've heard decent things about Omni power.

As for myself, I'm deciding weather I want Koni's & GC or Fortune coilovers(want to see how they ride on my friends cars when they arrive and are installed 1st).

I would just check Honda-Tech market place and find a deal

Konis are some of the best shocks out there period. Tein are pretty much junk until you get up into the high dollar ones. If you aren't spending a few grand on Teins, you're getting the same quality as K-Sport, Omni, Megan, blah blah.

Out of your list, I'd get the Konis and Ground Controls, or do a custom setup with Konis. Get Koni Yellows, with their adjustable perches, and then just get some 2.5in ID Swift springs. Swift springs are great, and you can get them in any length and spring rate you want. I had 450f/550r Ground Control setup with Koni Yellows on my last R, and my new one, and it rides great.
