The better deal?

I'm looking to go Koni dampers and springs and want to know which is the best deal. I currently track the car in autox maybe twice a year. I do have lot of twisty back roads where I live but because of the harsh winters (Year round ride) I can't be having the car sit too low for the snow and of course the roads aren't in perfect shape.

These are the two setups:

Koni Sport Dampers & HR Springs

or

Koni Yellow Kit

Currently my mods are tune and intake, but I will be FBO by the end of the month and have Whiteline subframe inserts installed as well.

For the record, you don't need to buy springs with Yellows.

Thanks, that was my next question. I think I will go Koni yellows at stock ride height because of the winters here we see several feet of snow sometimes over night.

The ecs kit is the same as the tire rack kit, tire rack is cheaper. I just got the strt kit from tire rack today and the springs look exactly like the photo in the ecs ad.

Yup, that definitely a solid upgrade. The struts alone will dial out a ton of the stock "crash" through the bumps. Just remember to adjust them properly before you put them in.
