Info on the KONI’s yellows?

Hmmm... I think I'm being sold on these swifts and koni combo. A fixed setup might work out well. If the price is right. I might go with GB on

You can't go wrong with Koni. I'm sure they'll match up real well with the Swifts.

I just don't know how much money you'll save. A Koni set for the 350s is a bit over $1,000 (on TireRack), so the 370 will probably be close to that. So you have to add another couple hundred bucks for the springs and you're then in entry-level coil over territory. Actually, you can get the BC BR coilovers for about $1k even.

So, unless they do some great introductory pricing (Koni does 20% off sales from time to time) it probably won't save you much. Unless of course you were looking at the KW V3s and decided to go Koni... then you save. But there will likely be a couple inexpensive coilover options in the Koni price range.

But as you stated before, I would rather have a Koni/Swift setup than a cheap coilover setup.
