Swift Spec-R or Tarmac: $375 or $330
B8 or B6 shocks: $900
Total: $1275
Revalved Total (+$420): $1650-1695

RCE T0: $1700

True...but I liked some of the points made regarding being able to adjust the rebound, so I looked up what ft86speedfactory.com had going on

Rce tarmacs 330
Koni complete set 865
Total= 1,195

Seems that without the revalve, it's Coke vs Pepsi like Andy and others have said. The benefits of the Koni's adjustability might just be the deciding factor. There's a meet coming up next month. Gonna see if I can go for some short drives with 86 owners to see which will be best for me.

Thanks for all the input thus far. Please keep the opinions, thoughts, and experiences coming.
