While I appreciate your suggestion on Koni's, as you are in line with what many others have said (ShawnB for example), and just as many found in actual use, your delivery is quite brash. You remind me of many camera sales people. Unless the body costs $1500, and the lens costs $800+ dollars, it's not worth buying. Your elitist bias and need to belittle those who don't choose your brand of shock adds nothing to this discussion. Many will ignore your suggestion simply based on your presentation. Just think about people you know who insist their way is better, and nothing else is even worth consideration. Bet you know someone like that, and I am confident I know your opinion of them.
Koni's may be the best set up, but I will say again, installing the Megan's and using the $1600 savings on track time (8 events by my count) will do more to improve my driving than any modification I could make, including your preferred set up.
My guess is, these coil overs will get me through the next year and I will be faster than "better prepared" cars when I go W2W, because I spent my money where it counts, on track time. Why do you think in the picture above I am in front of 2 BMW's, a Golf GTI and a Corvette? It's not because my car has more power, bigger tires or better brakes. It's because I have more track time than them, and drive better.
Pop a chill pill, and come to the thread in a helpful and open mind set. Your opinion will be far better respected.

I am not trying to come accross as an elitist that only believes in one brand. If I do then I need to work on my delivery.
At any rate all I am saying is that for the similar money you can have a better setup. Most of the Koni setups are very reasonably priced and provide some of the best bang for the buck out there. I am not shouting from the rooftops that unless you are running the bits and pieces custom 8611 setup you have crap, just offering insight that much of what people are buying as an upgrade is not as good as something that is similarly priced.
What did you pay for the Megan setup?
