Excerpt from my recent thread:

Redshift/ KONI vs. KONI OTS/ Ground Control (G/C):

Redshift uses a tighter design on the coilover conversion. I am in contact with Redshift to see if their design will work with the OTS KONIs or not. They have been making an excellent application using KONI products about 2 years even before KONI released their OTS application. They currently still use inserts from another vehicle that KONI and Redshift's engineers came to the conclusion that internal valving stack and shock dynos were more than sufficient for 8th Generation Civic. G/C uses a 5" spring while Redshift uses a 6" spring. 6” was deemed better for travel. The rear upper spring seat on the Redshift design utilizes a nutsert to hold it to the body of the car so the spring has no chance to fall out when jacked up. Both Redshift and G/C you are able to choose the spring rates you want, not what another company thinks you need.

The only thing that is needed to be modded is the front stock Macpherson strut housings. I was skeptical too in the beginning, but in the end you get superior damper performance.

The fact is many people are not true tuners anymore; all they want is plug and play. I will say that is convenient, but doing the work if the means and methods are available is half the fun. If means and methods are not there, then have someone else do the work for you to get what you want.

If you want KONI and you want height adjustable, go with Redshift. Speak to Chris as he is extremely knowledgeable. They will build for you, but remember, cost will be the downside to an extremely well performing, well rounded suspension.
