i was wondering if their was anywhere where i could buy koni fronts and rears at different times, i don't want to spend so much money all at once, b/c my front shocks are blown, but the rears are fine and i only have enough for half but not all.

You can go to tirerack.com. You can even buy one at a time if you need too. Here is the link

Sure you can purchase them individually, but what he wants to know is what will the car do with 2 Konis and 2 Stocks. I don't know if shocks work the same way as tires do (as long as both tires on the axle are the same, it will be fine). I should think if you set the Konis (I'm pretty sure they're adjustable) to approximately the same stiffness as the stock ones and you should be ok.

Where's the cheapest place to get Koni's? The cheapest I can find is $550. That's for the whole set right? It won't lower my car would it? My suspension is completely stock, I want to get the Konis first because it cost more than any suspension mod I'm going to do, including rims. It won't look retarded would it?

i'd try www.diabloautosports.com , they have cheaper prices, i like 530 shipped.....and koni's only lower your car if you put them on a lower perch, so it's your choice, and no, it wouldn't look bad, just use the koni's to drop about .5 w/ stock springs and it'll get rid of the lifted look and ride really nice

how does koni drop the car .5"? not too familiar with konis

they've told me something about adjusting the placement on the perch, you can lower it in .5" intervals, as much as 1"

adjusting the placement on the perch.... meaning not the actual perch moving like a coilover... isnt this how our stock shocks are? there's a groove for the end of the spring, you dont have to put the end of the spring in the groove, you could put it halfway up and it would raise the car that much... if this is the case i wouldnt exactly consider it adjustable. and 1" must be very steep... does anyone have actual pics of konis cause i never really got the whole adjustable height thing...

my friend has them on his 00 civic, ill try to get him to come over to take some pics.....they asked him if he wanted it lower when he had them installed but he didnt since he already had it dropped, but ill change the pic to show you where you change it.
