Don't hold your breath gentlemen. I can't say anything yet, but I just emailed my guy at Koni yesterday and wasn't too pleased with the news.

You guys don't get his hint? He's a national autocrosser, so he's been in touch with suspension-related people. He probably means that it's either going to take a hell of a long time or it's being dropped. That is unless, you guys have a better interpretation of "bad news."

We are still exchanging emails. My Koni guy is still in the process of acquiring info from their international HQ which is located in Holland. I don't want to incite panic or anything, so I thought it would be best to temper my reply to let you know I will have news, but I want to wait until everything is verified.

BTW, Thanks Yodums

Just to put things in perspective for you all before you get all hot and bothered over this post...

I bought my car in October 2005. I contacted my Koni guy (who I've been talking with for longer than that) about shock development for the new Civic in November of that year (2005).

It's what? May 2007?!?

There's a lot more to shock development than most people realize and that's why it scares me when a small company suddenly pops out and claims to have a product.

How do Skunk shocks compare to other companies as far as performance? Do you know if they are adjustable? Thanks

UPDATE: Just emailed my Koni guy today. Nothing yet, but at least I put it out there for him to give me an update. I'll keep everyone posted.

I believe that you are correct, however, I believe that he (honda93) also stated that it was a matter of "when not if", and he is attempting to update us on the "when" part.
