Because of course you know it doesnt mean much.Id agree with you on a dual purpose street/track car, but as soon as you get into a purpose race car, and dumping money into revalving and shortening the shocks, they arent too cheap anymore, at least in comparison to their performance.
I still stand behind the back to back comparison at Beaverun between your car on konis and my showkar jdm shocks. You felt it, I felt it, the konis sucked bad in comparison.
I guess this really brings up the question, what affordable real race shocks are there? Is advance design still around? Any other brands for $1k-$1.5k ?
I dont think the race konis at around $2k for the car is crazy expensive and probably worth it over the yellows imo.
