I have had both the kontrol pros and now the GT Pro Ksports. They are great for the money if you ask me, what bad things have you heard?

Other brands are easy to find, tein of course without top mounts (or pay out the ass to get the top mounts and I don't think they come with camber plates).

I believe H&R makes a set as well.

Search on kspec and seoulfulracing.com.

You're looking at spending anywhere from $1000-2000 for a set of real full coilovers if you want real quality.

Get the ones from KJB Motorsports. They're one of our really good vendors, and it's a pretty good price for the whole set.

Tien FTW, and you can get an option for a computer to change the stiffness of the suspension on the fly. WICKED COOL!

Don't pay anything over $1000 shipped for the kontrol pro's, and if you have the extra money DEFINEATELY get the GT Pro's, oh my god they are SO much nicer than the kontrol's. Finer threads, better quality stop nuts, inverted shocks to reduce unsprung weight, and steel lower mounts that are much more durable than the aluminum ones on the kontrol's. Not to mention they have pillow ball top mounts on the front AND rear whereas the kontrols only have them on the front. Both sets come with all 4 top mounts and camber adjustment top's on the fronts.

I paid only $850 shipped for my kontrol's a few years back, although I think the retail price has gone up a few hundred bucks over that time so.

^^Yeah that is a really nice feature, but you are looking at about $2000 for their super streets with the EDFC option so it's all up to how much you want to spend. Obvioulsy teins are better quality, but not worth the price difference if you ask me.

I can't imagine how much a set of teins with inverted tube shocks would cost!
