Then there the part about Konis haveing a much wider range of adjustment... ect ect ect...
any way, if you were to tie those Konis in with the proper spring, such as ground controls (maybe do a little custom spring rate) then you'd have a setup that could easily out perform just about any Pre-built coilover could offer. It may take a little thinking and tuning on your part, but in the long run you'd have a better performing car.
