Do you prefer the Konis over the BC coilovers?

I did not get the Koni's at the time because there was not enough information on them. I went with the 1le shocks instead, and other than the infamous front strut crashing noise over certain bumps I love them.

I have since seen a few reviews on the Konis and I may try them at a later date.

I can tell you the BC's rode better, but my car feels more nimble and tighter with the 1le's.

Thanks for commenting bkscott. I want the most budget friendly handling dampers application. It sounds to me that the Konis could be the best way to go because they are adjustable but if I get a good deal on the 1le shocks I'll most likely go with those. So you think the 1le shocks provide better handling than the BC coils? I honestly don't mind the harsh ride, I prefer to have a better handling vehicle on smooth roads than a comfier ride on bumps. BTW did you sell those BC coilovers?

Damping Options for the 5th Gen Camaro

DSE / JRI Coilovers
RideTech Specially Valved Track Star Coilovers
Z/28 DSSV Struts and Coils
1LE Struts with SS coils
Bilstein and DSE or BMR Coils

These are all very good with a huge range in price point to fit most budgets.

What's your feelings on the AFE (Pfadt) coil over set up?

I'll take the JRI or RT TrackStar coilovers over all others hands down.

Any thoughts on the Motion Control setup? To me it would require more personal development to run them (instead of relying on DSE's prior development) but it seems like good value considering what you're getting.
