....Loving my Koni's.....

I had them on for about a week now...and would have to say it rides better than when it did stock....I don't get airborn over train tracks anymore........I don't bounce up & down on the freeway....Its just plain better......I still have the Koni's at the stock settings, don't want to mess with whats good already.......I defeinately recommend them to anyone that has had problems since lowering their cars,,,especially the 2001's like me......

I love my Koni's also, I have not have any problems with my Koni's I don't know why some people are having problems with them. I have my a half turn stiffer up front but left the back on the softest setting. Steering is more acurate and I can take curves at speeds I never thought I can make without braking first.

Hey where'd you buy your koni's at? What springs did you use with them and how much was the thing including the installation. So basically, what was total amount you spent on you suspension? Did you buy a camber kit? Late.

I have a 2001 EX Coupe. Love the KONI's too with my Neuspeed Race springs. Tight up front and soft in rear. Exceptional to stock.

I like my Konis. Also have the front set on a half turn and full soft in the back. I put them on along with Pro Kit springs. The car handles great. It's super on winding mountain roads, running 80 on 55 mph limit and feel very safe and comfy doing it. (except maybe for the Tennessee trropers)

Springs = $180

Koni's. = $450

Install with alignment = $169

No camber kit needed with the Pro Kit.

I've got over 5000 miles now with this setup and no signs of unusual tire wear, shocks and springs all in good shape, and still handles great.

do you ppl think that Koni's and say GroundControls would be good (or at least ok) with the stock rims? or would that prety much be a waste.

I have Konis and Ground Control and it handles great but if you want more comfort when driving go with what Bartkat has Pro kit and Konis. Springs will ride a whole lot better than coilovers. I am going to get the Eibach springs either Pro kit or Sport lines don't know which ones are smoother. Does anybody know which are smoother?
