well, i guess i got some questions for these suspension
1. are the shocks still inserts? ie do we still have to gut our stock shocks or they are full shocks now like tokico ones
2. are there 2 different models one for 01-02 and another for 03-05?

1. Tires
2. Shock/spring upgrade
3. Sway bars (There are tons of combos, so you have to search)
4. Front Tower Strut
5. Camber kit
6. Driving School
7. AutoX club in your local area

The Sport kits are still inserts. Get them professionally installed so you can blame someone other than yourself.

Spoke to Koni and they are extending their lifetime warranty even for the springs! so the entire setup is Lifetime Warranty.

Oh and the drop for 04 at least, is 35mm which is about 1.3" so it wont look slammed.

You have a 2001 EX coupe? And the ride is bumpy? Hm? My 04 ex sedan is luxurious, other than being a little boucy over some roads. When is the last time you checked your stock Shocks struts? Maybe one of them is blown?

No reason for a stock ride on a Honda to be rough and bumpy. the koni is def more sporty than NEW Stock yet confortable on the softest setting. Keep in mind the softest setting on koni is firmer than New Stock setting from Honda.

If you want a luxurious LEXUS type ride, than I dont know

Ask Truehonda what to do.

No, They are height adjustable and dampening adjustable.
Still insert shocks, they just added matching springs to go with it.

That is correct, although they are not height adjustable like coilovers where you can slam it.

You are getting Koni Yellows with matched Springs for almost free, versus getting koni yellows+neuspeed/eibach etc. I see several major benefits...

- the shocks are street and autox tested on this board and everyone loves them
- Springs are now matched perfect so the setup should be even better
- Lifetime warranty through koni on all parts in the box
- Cost is much cheaper than new koni yellow and new eibach or neuspeed springs
- Adjustable dampening
- Help support a site vendor

Great deal, Koni will not disclose Spring rates bc they say people dont know how to apply them correctly. Said its similar to Eibach springs (bit stiffer) and then the yellows (mmmmmmmmm....drool)
