Should i really save up for the Koni's or should i get the Kyb's rite now. i have a shop that can get the kybs and install them within 2 days for $350. but i got $500 in hand so i was wondering if i should save for the koni's which is like $600 just for the set. and the labor is gonna run me about $200 due to the extra things you gotta do.

Whats ur say?

If you want to upgrade then get koni. If you want the feel of brand new stock shocks then get KYB. Simple as that.

I got my Koni's for 580 shipped from Groupbuycenter.com. Just check on there for deals. Im having mine installed with my sportlines for 366. If you want better handleing then get the koni's, but if its a stock ride then go with the kyb's.

I have the Dropzone coilovers and the kyb's, yeah they pretty much do feel like stock, just a little better. But NOW i want the same set up you have. I have the sportlines under my bed tongue.gif and want to get teh Koni's. Let me/us know how the ride feels b/c i will be running car a lot more after it done.

David I will let you know how the ride is and how I like it once i can get a chance to properly set the koni's to my likings and when the springs settle. But so far Im happy with them.
