Koni+GC or Tein SS?

Any suggestions from everyone about which way to fly: Koni Yellows + GroundForce coilovers or Tein SS complete? Is on combo easier to adjust than the other? Do the Teins require a little hole in the rear deck like the Illuminas?

Sorry for the bevy of questions, but I'm looking for the easiest/fastest way to change ride height and damping so I can AutoX in 2 classes maybe. So ideally being able to easily switch between the different settings on all 4 corners would be the way to go - and preferably without making little holes in the rear deck.

Thanks.

teinSS is the only way to ride. they both require the same holes. You can get the EDFC kit to adjust the rear electronically.

Don't sleep on custom rated/wound Ground Controls and custom valved Konis though. Some serious hardware right there.

Thanks for the responses so far. I was under the impression that the Koni yellows had an accessible knob for damping adjustments - instead of making the little hole in the rear deck. I don't know why I think this, but can anyone confirm this one way or the other? That's why the Konis are still in the running for me. Otherwise the Teins are it and I'll buy them today and deal with the little holes.

Thanks

OK, maybe I confused the Koni Yellows with the KYB AGX adjustables. The KYBs have an adjustment knob on the outside, accessible from the wheelwells. Unfortunately, it appears they don't make the AGX for 2nd gen CLs (or the comparable Accords).

So it looks like Teins and holes in the rear deck after all. Hopefully I can get the PAA techs to install for me with an extension to make my adjustments easier.
