In short, I want the Koni Yellows that are supposed to be a direct bolt-on replacement to our stock suspension. I don't want to modify or weld anything. Plug and Play is what I'm looking for
i would also like a out of the box package. perhaps u guys can sell a pre-modify version so i can just buy it and install it as a out of the box package.

can't wait for more details from u!

it's hard when u only have 1 car for DD and can't afford to send the shox gone for like a week. mmmmm, i'm willing the buy an extra spare part (hopefully it's something cheap) so u can premod it, else if u don't need the entire shox, they will be expensive quickly.

The koni's won't take to kindly to being slammed, or any damper for that matter.

It was overdone! But I want a drop about 2" and with just springs its not good for the stock dampers! So I need Koni's.

or is there another company who sells sport dampers for my 2" drop? So i take the neuspeed springs and sport dampers from another company...

dont know what to do at best?!?! Any suggestions?

The koni's will last longer than stock at the 2" drop, but still wear out quicker than say a 1.5" drop. Also, the front suspension geometry doesn't like being lowered more than 1.5"

1.6" - 1.7" drop is also ok. But 1.5" isnt low enough for me!

I will try the sportlines first, and if the koni adjustable shocks come out, Ill trade it with the stock shocks!

Can I call this a day?


At the end one more question! The sportlines drops in the flesh more than the s-tech's, is it right?

We're also offing single and double adjustable coilovers as well.... and the Sport line of coilovers as well.... all Koni damper hardware.

Not final yet, but something like this for street pricing...

Non-adjustable fix spring $800
Koni Sports and Coilovers $1300
Koni Race (single adjustable twin-tube) and Coilovers $1900
Koni Race (double adustable twin tube) and Coilover $2300
Koni Race (double adjustable monotube 28 series) and Coilovers $4500

That's the ballpark pricing you'll see on the street.

Give you all the options needed for everyones wants and needs
they 800 buck fix spring, this is a dampner chambered for a lowering spring im guessing? say a progress or eibach spring would be perfect for these?? Oh GOD PLEASE SAY YES!!*

Its a stock replacment damper that uses a lowering spring but not that much lower than stock think Pro-kit.

so like hfp low? Cus thats not enough.. i mean i love the pro kit or progressive spring drop which is just slightly lower than pro kit drop... and as far as stock replacement does it perform and last longer or should i just lower on stock struts? God i just want a dampener out there that will handle a 1-1.2 inch drop and perform better than stock!
