Hi. Are the Koni's really worth the money? How much did they charge you to install them?

Thanks,
Erik

 

I have KYB GR-2's...
Pretty nice... I like'em. I have Intrax spring with them, and they're pretty firm, but not enough to shake out your brains. I replaced my Tokico blues with them. I would recommend KYB's...but if you're going adjustables, I heard good things about Koni's.

KONIS ARE WORTH THE MONEY I HAVE INTRAX SPRINGS AND GOING LOWER TO SPRINTS. YOU CAN ADJUST FOR A COMFORTABLE RIDE OR A STIFF RIDE. THEY WERE CHARGING ME $45.00 PER SHOCK
TO INSTALL THEM. I ENDED UP DOING IT MY SELF AT A SHOP THAT CHARGED ME $3.00 AN HOUR. PAID $119.00 PER SHOCK AT SUMMIT RACING.

 

That's a darn great rate... where is this shop?!

You can do it yourself... rent a spring compressor, though.

I just reset my rears yesterday... 75% was too stiff for me... full soft or a half turn seems to suit me best... the fronts are a different matter.... but they are adjustable from the top w/o having to remove unlike the rears.

 

So the front you can adjust on the fly but the rears you need to remove them? The stiffer = better turns but worse ride, correct?

Thanks again,
Erik

 

I AM A US MARINE, LISTEN DO YOU HAVE A BUDDY IN THE MILITARY? IF YOU DO WE HAVE WHAT WE CALL HOBBY SHOPS. WHATS A HOBBY SHOP IS LIKE A REGULAR GARAGE THAT HAVE SPRING COMPRESSORS A IMPAC WRENCHES ETC... AND THE STAFF ARE VERY HELPFUL JUST IN CASE YOU GET STUCK, AS IN LIKE NOW WHAT DO I DO. IF YOU LIVE IN CALIFORNIA THEY GOT ON I KNOW FOR SURE IN (OCEANSIDE) CAMP PENDLETON IN MAINSIDE I KNOW THEY GOT IN CAMP LEJEUNE N. CAROLINA AND ONE HERE IN NEW ORLEANS. JUST REMEMBER THE GUYS HELP YOU OUT GIVE THEM A TIP YOU AINT SUPPOSE TO TIP THEM BUT DO IT OUT OF COURTESY ANYWAYS. YOU WILL NOT BE THE ONLY ONE WORKING ON YOUR CAR EITHER. THERE WILL LOTS OF OTHER GUYS ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE IN CALIFORNIA SO THERE IS PLENTY OF HELP EVERYWHERE AROUND YOU. AND ONE QUESTION HOW THE HECK DO YOU POST A PIC ON THIS FORUM THING I GO TO THE ATTACH A FILE THING AND IT WONT WORK. DO I HAVE TO DO ANYTHING EXTRA

 

click on the 'vB code references' on the upper right of the page ... look for 'img' in brackets

 

I have the Sprint's and Koni's combo. They are great together. I got a shop to install them for me. I don't remember how the shop set the rears exactly, but they said they set it at the lowest setting, whatever that means. I don't think I'll be adjusting the rears, too much work. The fronts are easy though. Best combo IMO.
