well for me its not merely aesthetic, but i've never actually owned a lowered car, so i am sure ANY suspension upgrade will be like riding rails for me. my concern is that i have heard many refer to the linear rating of the GCs and how it eats struts. i was thinking the spax would be a nice alternative because they are supposed to have shorter rods but i havnt found anybody, thru searches, that has used this combo so i might have to be the guinea pig. as for the spax adjustables, i am with you...they turn out to be more cash than konis.

to anybody looking for konis for our cars, i found them on importpartsusa.com FOR 152.60 PER CORNER!!!!!

i think i should be exempt from newbie status because of that killer find haha
