Question on Koni Yellow

Just curious...do the koni yellows for the EX Coupe have the adjustable spring perches? I've been checking around and been reading that "selected applications" have the adjustable spring perches. Would we be that lucky to get the Civic models to have this?

but they dont have adjustable spring perches...

from my understanding, yes you could "adjust" the height but this is just placing the spring in different ways and not the actual perch being able to be adjusted... please correct me if i'm wrong. and if i am, can someone please post a pic of the rear so that i can understand.

There are locating rings on the rear shocks. You set the height on installation based on the load on the rear of the car. Most times is should be set on the "normal". There is no height adjustment once the shocks are on the car.

You do, however have the dampening adjustment on both the front and rear shocks.

Check my members rides pics to see the ride height with Eibach ProKit and Koni Yellows. This, of course is looking a bit lower due to the OEM body kit.

If you call up Koni they will custom make you struts. It does not cost an arm and a leg. It should take another hundred from your pocket. They also sell adjustable spring perches that fit on their struts. I know GC uses Koni or Bilstein for their shocks(its one or the other).
