i just recently installed my CT springs a month ago and put on my 19's 3 weeks ago....and myfront shocks are already gone...the i would see a puddle of some kind of liquid when i back out of the garage where the front of my car would be..i took it to my uncles mechanic shop and he told me that the shocks are gone!..has this happened to any of yall before?!?...i just think it's odd....well....so i guess i'm leanin towards konis yellows...what do yall think and what do yall could have been the problem....i just think it odd...i only have 22k miles on the car and only 800 miles with the new springs and rims...and when i do get the konis....what's a good settin for an almost stock ride...thanks for the input guys....

 

I thinking about getting the Konis for my Comptech Springs too. I heard that they're great shocks. I like the fact that they have a lifetime waranty too.

I was only going to use the Konis on the front and stock shocks in the back though.

 

Go with the Koni's.

Talk to Dean he can get ya a real good deal on a full set.

 

hmm it coudl just be really rough roads or maybe that the stock shocks you hae happened to be low quality and busted under the strain.

 

I think I'mma get koni fronts now too.

 

thats odd

 

for real...i only had the springs and rims on for 800 miles...i'mma go with konis....so the lower the settin the softer the ride right?

 

I have Koni/Neuspeeds on 19s. The Yellows are set to the softest on all 4 corners, however, don't expect a stock/soft ride. On 19s, you'll feel the little bumps b/c the Konis respond so well and keep the ride tight and controlled. It's not bone-jarring, but it all depends on a person's comfort level. I can tolerate the ride because I do find it quite smooth and controlled, however someone else may not think the same thing. Oh, and watch for potholes or kiss your 19s goodbye.

 

damn that fast u think that could happen to me if i put 18's

 

my stock strut blew out with ground coilovers in about maybe 1000miles. liquid was leaking out, leaving a puddle on the ground. my car was lowered about 2.5" all around.

 

yea same thing happened to mine..but i havet CT springs..only 1.25 in the front ....i saw liquid too..but i thought it was my power steering fluid because it leaked out b4....but i guess wrong...weird...so mik3y..when you replaced it...what did you replace it with and did it go out again?

 

i got Apex coilovers...so far they've been working perfectly.

 

How much does Dean sell the Koni's for ???

 

I wouldn't stick with the stock shocks with that much of a drop.

 

Might have had bad shocks to begin with. Or the install was messed up. If you didn't have the springs you might have gotten them replaced under warranty.
