I did a search But...Shocks/struts

I read all the threads on Koni Yellows. and it seems that if it is installed PROPERLY I won't have any problems...But.... Are ther any other shock/struts out there?

I am about to buy the Koni's from Tornactive for $555 which isn't bad at all plus i have 5 percent off. I don't have the money for a full coilover suspension set up. the highest I can go is 600. Plus I already spent money on Goldline springs.

So in closing are Koni's really all that bad, and are there any other brands.

I've heard that Tokico's are gonna be release sometime around February. Other than that Koni's are the only ones that I know of.

Tein makes a coil over setup, but it's pricey.

Might be pricy but when you consider how much your gonna spend for the drop springs then the shocks for your setup and then installed your gonna pay close to what the Tiens sell for so you might as well do it right plus thyen you have the adjustability with them. I was gonna go Tokicos and Eibach Sportlines then added up the cost and figured what the hell save a bit more and get the full True coliover system

this has been discussed many times before. yes konis are the only ones available.. last time i checked with tokico, they said they had no specific date but they said it shouldnt be out till atleast early next year. which doesnt mean **** cause that could even mean it wont be out for another 3 years(just an exageration).
konis+goldlines is what 550+130 = 680 compared to 1100... thats a big difference. if you were comparing gc then it wont be as big.

thanks all... I know it's been discussed many times and I read all the previous posts. And I bought my Goldlines when the first came out for 200. I will do the install myself. So Tein is outa the question as said originally in so many words. Thanks VNlilMan ofr clearing up the other stuff. I decided to go with Koni since i can't wait, unfortunately. Lets pray I don't have the same problems as others have had.

THANKS
