What shocks beside the Koni yellows are in development?

Blk4drSI · 05-11-2007, 12:36 PM

I just wanted to see if anyone knows if there are any other shock in development that would be good for our cars lowered beside the Koni yellows that I keep hearing about. I am going to lower my sedan and I want to get some shocks in the not too distant future.

Good question... I was wondering if the HFP shocks would work... because they are shoter than the stock shocks. I just don't think you can buy hfp shocks outside the whole kit. Curious.

Yeah, I read yesterday that there is some member on here(bluerocket) I think, that did just that and he says that it worked out awesome. He just had to buy the whole HFP suspension kit and I think that he used Eibach springs. I had custom tuned bilsteins on my Dakota R/T with Hotckis springs and that truck handled as well as my stock SI. There were very expensive though.

Working in the business every day, here is the list of stuff that is on the table, that I know of:

1. Moton Race Dampers and Club Sport
2. Tokico
3. Mugen Race Dampers, Sport, and Type R Sport
4. Koni Std and Race Dampers
5. Buddy Club
6. Skunk2
7. H&R Coil Over and Cup Kit
8. Tein, of course.
9. Swift will be making springs and sways
10. I haven't talked to Bob at Omni yet, but I'm going to encourage him to do something. Not that that means anything, but I will.

What will be the best option for shock if one were to get the ground control sleeved coilovers for the Si.

Si-aficionado · 05-11-2007, 02:57 PM

It's been a year and a half since the release of the new models..would have thought they had aftermarket shocks by now

Depends on the spring rates and ride height you plan on running. Koni always has a solid product.

^^and there is still no definite release date on the koni's?
