I will have a set of one year old Koni SA for sale in a couple of weeks. They were on the car for autocross, hardly saw any time on the street. Make offer if interested.

 

Not that you asked, but I found them to be pretty stiff especially with aftermarket springs.

That said, in the summer I'm taking off my aftermarket springs.

Also don't turn the rears up more than 50%. Really you could go as low as 25%. Also they are rebound adjustable only.

 

Thanks for the offer tucker1170 but when it comes to parts like this I want new

Thanks for the review HeavyMetal699.

 

NP I can respect that. I bought mine new because I couldn't find any used when I was ready to buy. I bought mine from Tire Rack. They are very competitive on price and their customer service is second to none. You may be able to find a set for a few dollars less but if you have any sort of problem with them, you may regret trying to save a few bucks.

 

Did you hae any problems with them? and what kind of springs did you have? I have Tanabe GF210's.
Thanks for the heads up!

 

No problems with them, other than with the design of the car. I was contemplating having them converted to double adjustables but the rears still couldn't be fully adjusted without removing them from the car. That is not very practical when you want to make an adjustment at an event. So I found a set of used Koni 2812's that can be adjusted on both compression and rebound from the bottom on the rears.

BTW, the 2812's cost about $1000 per shock new. Converting Koni Yellows to DA costs about $400 per shock. I found the used 2812's for $2000 total and then paid about $500 to have them dynoed and revalved at Koni. So for a few hundred bucks more (after I sell the yellows), I got much better shocks that can be more easily adjusted and have a much better range of adjustability.

I ran BS so the springs were stock.

 

The ones I was offered for a price just uner $700.00 have a part number of 8241 1226Sport 8240 1227Sport Those are for the front and rear. Can you tell me if these are good for a start?

 

I am not sure about the part numbers but they sound right to me. You are looking for Koni Yellows. As far as whether they are good for a start, that depends on what you are going to do with the car. The rears can only be adjusted by taking them off of the car so if you plan on doing street driving with stiffer than stock springs, you are going to have a pretty rough ride. I would probably look for a good set of coilovers but I am not familiar enough with that info.

You may be better off looking into some of the STX threads here. Those guys can change spring rates so they would know more about what you are looking for.

 

I have the tanabe sustec five, runs about 1000-1400 depending where you go. I have used them on an autocross and they were amazing. i keep them on +8 setting for stiffness (there is 12 settings) and they are a little rough but driveable on streets. Now with the AP sway kit they are even better. Best mod i have put on car besides turbo.

 

I love Tanabe stuff and was looking at them. I'm going with coils and ditch the spring / shock combo ider lol after driving my friends 8 with Tein bassic and no sway bars I was like wow! if you have my AP bars and links this has track all over it. So yea thanks for helping me make up my mind guys.

 

NP I think that you will be happier with the coilovers. Good Luck.

 

hmm... tirerack has those same part #'s, but the price is well below $700 for the F&R

$372 for both Clicky

This is probably a stupid question but are these Koni "Yellows"?

 

Dominion,

i'm heading over to Tein this week. Let me know what's the best price you got and i'm sure I can match or beat it.

I got a better deal for you on the Konis also if you go back to that route.

^Wow thanks guys. Can you get me KW V3?

 

Yes if it's made I can get it. I'd have to email to get pricing. Personally I think getting a double adjustable suspension might be a bit much for the regular person.

Rishie

 

Those are them but the pricing is each. You will need 2 fronts and 2 rears unless you plan on running on an oval.

 

lol thanks I figured it out...

*where are all those face palm gif's*
