Koni Yellows are worth every penny. They're not over-priced by any means.
It's just a matter of are you willing to lay down that kind of cash? I would get Koni Yellows + Ground Controls ANY DAY over BC/Tein/Megan/K-sport, and they're still cheaper than Tein and BC. There's more affordable options, like Tokico Illumina if I'm not mistaken. KYB no longer makes AGX shocks for us Celica owners, I think. So as far as that goes, Koni, Tokico (if they still make them) KYB GR-2/Excel-G (gray/black respectively) and then coilovers. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

QUOTE (Stambo @ Feb 11, 2012 - 11:14 AM) i keep hearing koni yellows and a set of ground control coil overs is a race proven set up anything lower than 1.5 inches on koni yellow shocks voids the warranty on the inserts. KYB uses the same agreement. Too low and you start to loose performance! and end up blowing the strut faster. -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts

I love my Koni's. They're wrapped with Eibach Sportlines and when on the stiffest setting, I break beads in my tires lmao... Great when going around corners.
There was a site that sells the Koni Special D's with Eibach's in a complete setup for like $800. I will try to find the site. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles.

So it'd end up costing $850 for me. that over $200 a shock? I'd have to feel the ride quality in person to see whether they are worth the dollar since they all come as cartridges, how the helk are you supposed to install the rears if the rear's are rebuildable?!!
