Yeah, I know what you mean..

I was really hoping for 1k as well. Looks like I'm going to have to eat ramen for lunch a few more days a week.

How hardcore will this setup be--daily-driver friendly, or more for the track (stiffness on par with the CTR suspension)?

I'm guessing the shocks are going to look like this? lol

I doubt we're gonna get any pictures of them on a car for a while.

Well there may be a option to get the coilover and the Non adjustables, but prices aren't set yet so I couldn't tell you.

There adjustable, And koni has some nice rebound adjustment on their shocks so personall an OTS koni on full soft is almost if not softer than stock or kinda close..

I meant the non-adjustable $1300 coilovers :)

bluesunit · 01-28-2008, 08:15 PM

Koni sports are single adjustable, correct?

And if you set this up as a bolt on package, I'm sold.

looks like i may as well have my paycheck direct deposited to Redshift for the next few months. s/c + suspension = empty piggy bank, but worth every dime.

How much better will you expect the Koni sport/coilover $1300 package to be better than the HFP or mugen sports suspension?

I'll let the RedShift guys chime in, but the Sports (I believe) are adjustable dampers and, as coil-overs, they are height adjustable. You'll be able to tune the handling how you like it . . . unlike the HFP or Mugen sets.

I have HFP and am very happy with it, but it's getting sold when good adjustable dampers come out.

Oh, and I'd like some caster/camber plates with mine, please.

***Highrev1*** · 01-28-2008, 08:50 PM

The Sports are Rebound adjustable, and we are paring those with our own coilover setup that will utalize linear eibach springs..fully height adjustable.

Basically were talking Koni Yellows here...

We are trying to do a full setup so other than bolting it on you guys don't have to install inserts...

friedk · 01-28-2008, 09:15 PM

For Non-adjustables + coilover.

***Highrev1*** · 01-28-2008, 09:18 PM

Even the non adjustable have a different style of adjustment....no knob, but you can twist the shock and piston to get adjustment...There will be full insctruction sheets...Online

friedk · 01-28-2008, 09:22 PM

I hope you guys choose to offer that setup. It sounds like the perfect price point for me in between non adjustable + linear sping and koni sport + coilover.

If I read into this correctly ...

Non-Adjustable setup = Koni "Reds" or Specials ... Where they do not have "EXTERNALY" Adjustable damping ... but the damping can pre -adjusted prior to installation. These will come I would guess with an Eibach or similar progressive rate lowering spring. Hopefully these will come with at least OE style top mounts (F) ..ie fullly assembled

Adjustable Setup = Koni "Yellows" or Sports which have external Damping adjustment and will come with a Threaded sleeve and Linear rate Eibach ERS coils. Hopefully this setup will come fully assembled with camber adjustable top-mounts (f) - this would make this Kit a BARGAIN in C/O Setups

I have lowered my si coupe, with progress springs, and had the camber adjusted to -1.5(front) and -1 (rear) my stuts/shocks? are starting to go.. i too have been waiting for this setup. What would i be looking at buying? a whole new setup? or is there a strut made for my application? Any knowledge would be greatly appreciated
