I'm guessing the Bilstein/sleeve/QA1s is the only option there that's going to approach the same price range...? I could be wrong, i haven't looked into pricing every option just yet myself. Probably because my car is "doomed" to live a life as a street car.

I DO know that the price range being discussed in this thread couldn't even touch the Koni/GC sleeve/QA1 setup i run on the Escort, though.

So i guess to clarify... if OP has the money to do a Bilstein/Koni + sleeves setup, that's the route to go, for sure.
