Is it on the verge of "the best" you can get to go with a custom valved double-adjustable Koni shock? Sure. And if you're on the verge of being "the best" driver, it might be worth it. But, most of us would hardly notice the difference between a decent $1000 coil over kit and a $2-3k custom Koni kit.
Correct and for that same money you can buy something like a Tein N1, while I'm not a fan of Tein's cheaper SS and basic kits, I can find zero fault with theirt high end mono tube double adjustable stuff. and you get external gas chambers included. The GC/Koni and tuning is a hold over from when SCCA banned threaded bodies in IT racing. but that has since been corrected in the rule book.
