Hi guys been a while...
Just a quickie, i'm looking at koni and tokico shock and spring kits. Both the same price (UK import tax). Can someone advise? I'm looking for the most comfortable whilst fastest round corners. Also, would they be THAT much stiffer/better than Si 2000 stock?

Thanks MXS
I was hoping you would reply...
Can you or anyone tell me why koni's are better, ie what are their characteristics...(might be a good reference post?)

Thanks

read this: http://farnorthracing.com/autocross_secrets6.html

years of product development and race-tested performance, warranty, quality control, an adjustment **** that actually adjusts something, and does it consistently, and they don't adjust compression and rebound at the same time (like I think Tokicos do). you can't get better performance for the money
