On the whole the JDM makers had limited adjustablility and were not consistent or repeateable (on a shock dyno). Koni’s did very well, and obviously companites like Moton and thier ilk did very very well. For the money, Koni/Ground Control setup (for your Se-R i assume) would be very well rounded and dependable. You can get custon spring rates (OTS Koni’s are safe up to about 800#) comparatively cheaply, have them revalved (go sp33 if you do), what more do you really need? I’ve seen that link on [evolutionm.net](http://evolutionm.net), the author talks about a whole lot of things regarding shocks and which ones are the best, he said the best for the money are bilstein and koni’s. I forget what were the pros and cons of both, but these were the one’s that he would recommend. All the japanese coilover makers had extreme amounts of crosstalk with regards to rebound and dampening. He basically said that they were all crap. I’ll try and find the link. As for which to get i would go with koni’s, and a set of custom springs maybe. edit: Here’s the link [http://www.wincom.net/trog/autocross\_secrets6.html](http://www.wincom.net/trog/autocross_secrets6.html) --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/koni-yellows-vs-ksport-tein-coilovers/189860)._
