So, I think I've decided to go lower...

Current setup:
H&R Race/Koni Sports - 37,000 miles, no problems

Option 1: $350
- Reuse Konis
- Grab some GC coilsleeves

Option 2: $950
- F&F II coilovers

I do not care about ride quality, I do care about quality parts. I'm not looking to track this thing, I would like to scrape some [more] pavement, tuck some tire, etc.

I read the suspension review thread, I've come down to these two. Help me decide, share some experiences.

About time, those wheels are gonna look badass without tht wheelgap.

I rode on konis before with my ksport GT springs. i loved those shocks, if i were ever to do a spring/sleeve and shock combo it would be those without a doubt. They offered amazing perfromance while providing a smoother ride than tokicos due to bieng oil shocks.

I would shed some light on the F2's but i got the T1's and i cant say anything about them. Tho i really love my T1's.

Not really caring about ride quality i say the F2's are the way to go.

I'm currently on F2 at the moment and they're great. Allows you be drop your car super low and the ride quality is pretty good, doesn't compare to my old Basic but it's decent. I'm on full stiff and its drivable, gets super bouncy with bumpy road but its all good.

I know that Koni/GC has been called the "best beginner track setup" and what not and I love these shocks, but it may be time to move on. I don't think I'm going to sell the old setup, so I can go back if I want to.

This shouldn't even be a question. Konis will be leaps and bounds beyond anything F2 will offer.
