hi i just fitted my 03 Civic EX with KONI yellows. Do you know how long can these last for normal street driving? many have told me about 1 year and I feel this is very short lifespan. What's your comments? Thanks!

at normal drop height...it should last couple years depending on street conditions

but koni should have a warranty

Konis, on the street should last Many many years.

Yup, life time warranty was one reason why I bought a set. I was told Koni will ship out another set to you first, then later you ship back the defective ones so that you wont have any down time.

Ive had my Koni for about 3 months and i have replaced my front shocks about 3 time. they leak around the adjustment screw or were the shock goes in and out. but like every one says they replace with no problem aslong as you have $112.00 to put up front, well thats konis new rule.

Eek.. 3 times? Damn thats some bad luck. I think your the first I've heard of that had to replace them so many times. 112 bucks up front? I guess if its refundable I'd pay it.

well the problem diabol is haveing, is from the instalation. not from koni, remember the front ones are just inserts. not a full strut like the rear. you have to cut open the oem struts.

No it isnt from instalation if it was something i did Koni wouldnt refund me the money its just bad luck i guess. they inspect the defective strut before they refund the money

i put konis in my rear and they lasted about 3 months. the ring that holds the spring perch on sheared off one side and when i installed my teins i noticed the other side was about to shear compleatly off too. koni was willing to replace them but you need a recipt and my ex girlfriend has mine and well im sol

You might have an early version of the rear perches. The newer ones dont seem to have this issue anymore.

my rears are busted. just about 4 months and theyre busted.

 
Rep Power: 453

for all of you that had yours bust at 3-4 months, did you install them yourselves or a shop install them?

 
Rep Power: 311

i installed them myself

 
Rep Power: 453

that might be why, not saying you did it wrong, but I had a shop do it that had experience installing them on the 01-03 civic

 
Rep Power: 311

well i know i put them in right they worked great till i hit a pot hole on the interstate with the passenger side and destroyed that one and then i ordered the teins and when i pulled the drivers side i noticed it was failing too.

 
Rep Power: 453

I dont know then

 
Rep Power: 311

while i had them i ran the **** out off them. but i love the teins they rock

Did you have the new rear perch design with cut groove in it for the circlip? The new perch has a groove in them that traps the circlip so it has no chance of popping out. I think around November/December was the time they started distributing the newwe design.. not sure.

I've had mine on for a more then a few months now and no problems yet.
