question bout koni suspension

first off, searched a whole bunch allready so if i missed it, then u dont need to slap me with the info...lol

ok, i was talking to my buddy.
he said that koni just launched a full suspension kit.
and that it was composed of coilovers..
i havent seen anythign on the web about this.
someone fill me in.

cause i wanna do about a 2.25 in drop, and all i seen is the neuspeeds. but if koni had some coilovers then i could probly drop it at least that low

koni did release a full suspension kit, but its not coilovers, so its not adjustable and thus you cannot do a 2.25 drop on it. if you still wanna buy a set, u can find it in the groupbuy section.

and if you wanna do a 2.25drop on your civic, you might want to look into B&G full coilovers.

or wait for omni power full coilovers thats comming out pretty soon

if you got the cash to invest into suspension, i would definately invest into full coilovers because 1) no worries about shock/strut issues, 2) adjustable just like sleeved coilovers, 3) offers quality comfort ride, 4) the spring and shock are matched to be used together.

spring and shock combo can be fine, but i would say thats more for serious suspension tuners who want higher spring rates, lower, etc etc.


koni launched a spring/shock combo? or is it really just a mixture of koni shocks and some random springs?

2.25" drop eh? how about neuspeed race (or other selective springs) and koni yellow struts? (better off with full coilovers tho cuz its gonna cost the same in the long run)

just wondering, how many us actually adjust their dampers and ride height on a weekly basis?
'cause it seems like everyone's getting all these suspensions, but they usually just gonna set it up once then leave it.

ok, this might be off topic, but i saw info and pix of a koni full suspension kit w/coilovers (or, they might be true coilovers). i dont think its for our cars, but i guess they do have them

I adjust my dampening at the track. I have played with the height and I plan on getting it corner balanced. Most people, however, do not adjust their coils.
