i was just wondering how much you guys spend on your suspension. And 1 question. Lets say i have the coilovers with me and i wanted to install them at a local shop, about how much would it cost? Sorry, i don't have any shop experiences since i do most of the mods by myself. Thanks

I was wondering if anyone would catch that. Believe it or not, I don't feel ripped off. The thing is that they are not your typical off-the-shelf Konis. They were converted from single adjustable to double adjustable, shortened by half and inch, degassed nitrogen charge, and revavled for an autocross specific application. Ran me a bit over $560 per corner. This is about what it would cost Koni to do for about any car. Basically what these shocks do is simulate a much higher spring rate than you have with stock springs. Additionally, if I crank the rebound down, I can 'jack' the car down onto the bumstops a few turns into the course, and end up with a real stiff ride. Obviously, these are not shocks most people will want, and for what it is worth, they are hand-build by Koni NA upon request. Turn around time is 6-8 weeks. You are right, though, you can get a full set of Koni + CG coilovers (with custom spring rate) for less... but I cannot change my springs, so the only option for me is to simulate a higher spring rate via crazy valved shocks. Believe it or not, there are more expensive shocks I could have bought... I chose the 'economy' route.
