Help me decide: Ground Control Coilovers vs. AMR Coilovers

[AngusTEx]

I've done my search and read countless threads......and I still don't know which to go with. I've already ruled F2, Ksport, and others out.

1) Ground Controls w/ Koni
2) Ground Controls w/ Illumina
3) AMR

My coupe is 90% DD and 10% AutoX since I only live 5 minutes from the nearest solo2 course and then 20 minutes to the next one. I've autox'd before with my stock suspension and got a good laugh. :leeann: Fairly spirited daily driving, so I'm looking for a slightly stiff ride yet comfortable enough for once in awhile one to four passengers...and then be able to dial it down to maximum on AutoX Sundays.

Looks like GC/Koni will run a lil more expensive than the other two. GC/Illuminas being the cheapest out of the 3. I know BlackDeath ran GC/Illuminas but switched to Koni because his Tokicos blew...but Tokicos carry a lifetime warranty too...and others here with them seem to like em. I'm torn with AMR recently since there's so much good things said about em, yet people say that the GC/Koni setup is one of the best for AutoX...then again AMR's dampening adjustability is a plus also.

I currently have TL/CL rear sway with TL/CL front strut bar installed and waiting to be complemented with one of these coilovers.

Doesn't matter if you're a daily or not.. just get coilovers.

aw man it'd be a touch decision... hmm....

 

[henreeezy xp]

coilovers ftw

I say koni/GC coilover setup.

Dont say coilies for the sake of coilies. Why discount an absolutely fantastic AND fully adjustable spring shock setup purely because its not sold as a 'coilover' unit?

However, if AMR are as reputable as koni and GC are, and the price is similar, then both are viable. Good luck with your decision making.

Yep, got mine and installed this week. Koni Yellows w/ GC is an awesome set up.
For AutoX, you can always go for stiffer springs set up for better track handling.

for track, id say GC + koni.....

but full coilover setup wont disappoint you

everyone and their mother are gonna say GC's and koni's, but i said GC's and illuminas. i had the illuminas on my last accord, and i loved them, they had a great ride to them, even on the stiff setting.

i was going to do a GC and illumina set up on my new accord, but i saw that ksports were around the same price rage, slightly more, but close....so i went with full coilovers instead.

but good luck on your decision

Full coilover setup IMO....

I have no experience w/ other setups, so it's hard to offer you advice for comparing. But I don't think you can go wrong w/ AMR's. I haven't heard from Andy in a while, and don't know what kind of wait time you'd have, but they're worth it.
