will the koni yellows be high adjustable?

[RedShiftChris]

The konis are not height adjustable on their own. We will be offering coilovers that allow changes in height though. Any fixed spring kit will not be height adjustable.

IF that makes since? most wont see speeds that high so its nothing to worry about.

Koniman... yeah, that's what I was trying to say when I said "the digressive nature of the shock is in the tuning, the progressive nature at the end is in the physical properties of fluid through a valve naturally. It's not an area of the graph that I think is a concern." Any other info you have for us is greatly appreciated. Shock tuning is a hard thing to understand and usually takes many years of racing to really understand and appreciate. We are so lucky to be working with Koni on this project.

I'm back from vacation on Tuesday and the new rear shocks are waiting for me when I get there.... so we'll have some testing to do when I get back next week.

I thought Koni will release some "high adjustable" shocks too? Just shocks, to use with seperate lowering springs?

[I<3MyHonda]

That be cool^^^

so i was on konis site i see they have some sport "yellow's" with part numbers.. pretty much a firmer dampner that is specifically designed for lowering springs.. any ideas if redshift will offer just a dampner no spring, i understand they are gonna offer the fixed spring set up, but i just want to dampner to put a different brand of spring on..? or possibly if these are about to release from koni?

[KONIMAN]

just wait to see what happens

we will start producing and selling to all of you.
As stated millions of times in the thread Koni will not be making a full strut for the front. It will be a insert that slides into your oe housing(this gives you the option to use any type of lowering spring you desire).

I appreciate your feed back.. little confused on this insert.. guess ill just see it when there are pics or something.

Yes, we do plan to offer the shocks alone btw. What sort of testing we do with the RedShift/Koni shocks and stock springs depends on how long Koni takes to get the bolt on shocks to market.

I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be hesitant to hack up their stock front shocks to put the inserts in. (even though a new set of front shocks are dirt cheap)
