koni yellow vs Evo 8/9 with bilsteins vs just bilsteins? for dd

[ar15tac]

I know every one here loves koni's. So that's why i'm looking into those. I saw these on tuners nation Evo 9 MR Bilstein Struts conversion for 1g DSM AWD [TN-M1GEVOBIL] - $600.00 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce. My car may see 2 auto crosses a year and 4 strip visits a year. What is the best option for me. I seelots of love for the koni's in auto cross, but how do they ride compared to stock. I imagine that bilsteins will ride better than the konis. So Just curious what you guys think.

Thank you all for your time.

I'm also very interested in this. I've read great things about the bilsteins and have considered the Evo9 MR conversion for my setup too. I may go against it and go with a coilover kit so that I can fit a bigger wheel on my car. I've read good things about the koni/ground control coilover setups too. Hopefully you'll get some suspension guys in here to break it all down.

I have used the koni g/c combo for the past 10years and the car works awsome. I also have sway bars and bushings. Occasional drag,lapping or highway cruise. Works very well . I also have a second talon with tein coil and I prefer the koni combo over tein.

Great thank you. How would you compare ride quality to stock smoother when set low or a little harsher or a lot? I
f you adjust the GCs up or down does that affect ride quality alot?

I've even thought of doing a pro kit with the koni's. I would think that the GC's would ride as good as pro kit but know one ever compared them that i've seen.

My goal is some improvement over stock handling with the best ride possible. I'm willing to pay up to aruond 600ish now and more later. So if i do the koni/gc combo, I would have to wait on the GC.

My car is lowered 1.2 inches and thats plenty, still lots of suspension travel and ride quality is OK.
