koni dampers?

Looking to upgrade the suspension for my 08, want to go along the lines of koni dampers with ground control springs, but cannot find any quality struts (best are KYB). Anyone tried fitting GE stuts on their GD? Or should I just go with the KYB and not expect them to last long? Not sure about going with coilovers because I want to keep a decent ride quality but with better handling for spirited driving.

any help appreciated!

I don't believe the GE shocks or struts will "Fit" on the GD as they're longer with different mounting positions if I recall.

However, I bought KYB shocks and struts for my 07 Sport this past week which I'll install with Swift Springs. If I don't like the Swift Springs, I'll try Tein, ST, and/or H&R before I commit to coilovers.
