Konis may work great for civic/integras and other vehicles. But not that great on the s2k.

All of the coilovers you named are "name brand" Fortune auto is assembled" in the USA I hear great reviews on the 510's I am personally on BC Racing with 14Kg springs.

Koni yellow w/ground control is old as dirt setup. People still run it cause it works.

Also look into "Stance" coilovers they offer customizing and are great coils as well. I just cant stand the name because I think of cheap people.

I am just throwing this out there: Lap times speak nothing to the quality of damper/coil-overs at all

I did this research about a year ago. I went with GC\Koni. It's the best Coilover setup for $1,200. If you're going to spend more than that just save for the KW

Thanks for all the input guys. What about Koni yellows with swift r springs? I have seen many CR guys pairing the swift r with their stock shocks and they seem to like. Could probably get that put together for about 900.
