But honestly, if you were going to spend that much on coilovers, might as well just get RCE Tarmac 2 or AST 4100.
you saying that as if its assumed the RCEs or ASTs are inherently better. The most important part of any coilover is the damper and the GCs are built around Koni yellows. If all other parts of the coilovers were about equal I'd take the GCs on that alone.

AST are better... But are easily 2x the total cost.

Not entirely. AST just came out with their new digressive coilovers this month, the AST 4150.
