I think Skip liked them, he certainly has some fast times so the suspension setup appeared to work well.


That is about the same spring rate as my KW CS. Koni/GC is probably the best bang for the buck out there. In fact I would say you really only have a couple choices (cheapest to most $$$):


Koni/GC<KW V3<KW CS<Ohlins/JRZ/Moton etc.


I would not really consider anything else seriously.

There are some very fast guys running ASTs. If I were buying today I'd probably go with a set of 4200 or maybe 5100s.

I've also looked at the AST's but they are fairly pricey. Cheapest you can do them is around $2200 and that's with factory strut tops and I believe that's for the 4100 series.

Actually, you are 100% correct, I forgot to add AST to the mix. I would probably get a set of double adjustible 5000 series ASTs if I needed a new setup.

I have KoniY/GC and it is quite a bang for the buck. From everyone I have ever discussed this with, Pete has it laid out for you. Add money and stir.

Does anybody have an OEM radio antenna sitting around? I thought some of you track guys might have removed yours.

Mine was stolen today
