Koni Yellows
Hi everyone, I have no idea why Koni Yellows are so special, can someone please enlighten me?
If I have the comptech springs, can I lower it more if I get the Koni Yellows? if yes, how much more? Can I keep it at the same height?
Thanks everyone, oh, and what are some less expensive alternatives? And do I need the shocks in both the front and rear?..or can I just get the rears, or something like that?

koni yellows are just great all around adjustable gas shocks...adjustable meaning ride harshness...the less harsh the higher up the shock will be...not really a coilover system...anyways, its not a bad idea to upgrade for that extra sporty ride...Shyne

I have the Koni Yellows for a 2 month or so. I really like how they imporoved my car's handling. The koni's are high adjustable as well as ride adjustable (stiffness). Granted, coilovers would be the best solution to be able to fine tune the height of the car, but the coilovers are a good alternative if you already have springs, since the shocks only have a few perches you can use to adjust the height.
I once read that preference to one brad of shocks is almost religious, since some people swear by one or the other.
As for lowering your car if you install the Koni shocks...the height should be the same if you use the specified settings from Koni (I think highest in the front and middle in the rear).
I guess the ultimate question is would I buy the shocks again...
- If I had springs - YES
- No springs and (ie stock setup) - I would go with coilovers.p
This is my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt.

Ok, I am dropping my car 1.5 inches in a few weeks, now my question was, how long will it take my stock shocks to go out?
i currently have 35000 miles on the car.

If the shocks failed due to no fault of your own, Koni should replace it. Hmm, I've been sitting on the fence, and can't decide if I want to go with Konis or Tokico in the future. But Bitium, from your experience, I may decide to go with Tokico (and being cheaper in price too).

How long have you had the springs? I might be interested...
