Thanks for the offer. Actually the guy I am talking to has springs as well. I have been torn between these, and a set of coilovers (megan) - what do you think?

my springs

in all honesty my springs and your koni's will be a good mix, especially being able to adjust the shock absorber

coilovers like megan, etc will do the same thing as ^ that setup. bottom line is cost to you

let me know if your interested

If I am not mistaken dave22 has Koni Shocks with HKS Springs. Speaking with him he seems pretty happy with the setup
Poindexter was using the Ground Control/Koni setup prior to selling his S2 for the M3 - he was real happy with it as well.
I am not 100% sure, but I do believe FF2Skip is running Koni Shocks as well.

Honestly I haven't heard a single complaint from any Koni owner as of yet.

I wouldnt buy some cheap as Megan copy for a coilover, you will likely make your car handle worse. Koni has been in the shock business for a long time.

Also - you may want to shoot Gary@ImportTuningGarage a PM to see if he is still offering this deal.

i've got buddy clubs on my track car and cannot recommend them over a yellow and a quality spring or gc setup. they are harsh, the force on them goes through the roof at high rates, they are more expensive, and finally they are harder to get worked on.
