What is "your experience" exactly? Have you owned this set up yourself?

ground controls have always been pretty expensive. theres cheaper stuff out there in the same style though.

Hmm. Not that I don't believe you, but some guy who says:

Doesn't seem like the typical koni/ground control owner. Just sayin', that shit's not cheap. Got any pictures or more in-depth details about the set up? Still running them? How long did you have them? Which Koni model did you run? Did you run inserts for the front, cut stock struts open or buy someone's premade insert holders?

There's a lot of BSers on the internets... not trying to call you out exactly, but you can't just say "indeed" and expect everyone to believe you.

yeah, re-read that man.

"WORKS with Koni"

"WORKS with KYB AGX"

not "includes".

so it's $400, plus $600-700 for the actual Koni shocks.

Plus you have to either machine your stock front struts to accept the Koni cartridges, or you have to buy premade machined "cartridge holders" (I'm sure there's a proper name for these, but I don't know what they're called). Then you still have to buy camber plates.

You're looking at pretty close to $1500. Not $400.
