Tein > Megan > BC > D2/Ksport. My opinion of course. Never heard of Yellow.

And, buy from an authorized dealer, not eBay.

Until there's a warranty issue. And with coilovers that often need rebuilding, I wouldn't take that risk. Besides, these prices are no better than those from authorized dealers.

Progress FTW - if you are looking for more of a sporty/performance and handling go that route. Have had them on for over 2 years with KYB GR-2's and love them.

GR-2's are struts made by KYB. A simple search would have answered that for you.

^ +1 on that

also, you will get mixed replies on the GR-2's but I have had them on my ride for over 2 years now (changed them when I put on the Progress springs)with no issues and my car sees the track.
