h&r with koni or coilover?
I am planing to buy coilover or koni shock...
Currently I have H&R sport with blown shock....
I was planning to get tein ss coilover in the first time but i found out that they have one year limitted warrenty while koni has lifetime...
I am planing to get 17" rims and factory body kits later...
so.. would it fit fine with h&r and koni????? or should i go for coilover for the best look????
and I am also wondering about the quality of ride and handling...
would there be much difference????
if koni with spring will do fine, I will probably get koni very soon since autobas has free install promotion...
i need you guys opinions..
anyways, does anyone know the coilover with lifetime warrenty???
and i also heard that coilover is illegal... in bc...
one guy got caught for having coilover in vancouver... is it true??

you said koni offers life time warrenty........
would you have to apply for it.. through koni? or lets say you purchase koni at autobas for example... would you get lifetime warrenty with them???

ic.
i'll check it later when i have more time.. to read through the whole thing
im not saying its a hassle to apply through koni, but most likely.. if anything does happen with the koni's, you will most likely have to take 'em off the car..... and then send it to koni themselve.
unless they send me to an authorized koni body shop/mechanic.. and have them fix it... either way, your car will be sitting for at least a week or two 'cause they'll take forever to fix 'em.
i think the warrenty aint that much of a concern to me.. as long as the product is reliable.

you said you have blown shocks? you're not covered with honda no more?
mine was blown also.. but i just got them replaced by honda. haha.. figure i'll get a new set of honda shocks and then buy aftermarkets... jsut in case i'll ever need the stock shocks again.

you guys with blown shocks. how long did the stock shocks last?

what year are your cars?

i went for an oil change.. and honda said my front shocks was leaking... so they replaced them.
they'll only replace them if you're still under warrenty.
i dont know how the warrenty thing is. i think its 3years/60clicks if you didnt buy any extended warreenty

well if u go with Koni then you have to cut the front inserts and you have to use koni forever
but teins can be swap out the stock shocks and dont require to cut anything.

Rep Power: 0 I got H&R's, after the install I found out that I had one blown shockg . I could either put all the old spring back in and bring it back to Honda or just replace all four with koni yellows. I think I'll go with Koni's. And I think Koni's are better than Teins.

Rep Power: 0 Sunapollo, do you find any problem with koni???
i heard that koni makes some noise while turning... from the gap between koni and old part...
if you don't have any problem, can i ask where you get it installed??
and how much would it be?
