koni shocks.

[92smokeaccord]

i know the yellows are best but how are the koni srt.t shocks. are the adjustible.

[xaaronx]

i'm in the process of getting all of the STR.T struts installed. i've only got the rear on right now (ran into problems getting the front struts off so it'll be a few more days) but it rides GREAT. pretty soft but stiff enough to reduce body roll around corners. the rears have -1.6" springs on them right now and the fronts will have -1.8".

well worth ~300 bucks.


edit: they are not adjustable, as these are for "street" cars. designed for cars that only hit the streets. the yellows are for cars with a slightly more extreme drop and those who want to hit the track every once in a while. which is why they're adjustable.

[CyborgGT]

It specifically says they're not adjustable. I may just get these for my car as my first setup. Affordable and by a very reputable brand, they should be great testing ground.

are they better replacements 4 skunk2s that i have with coilovers.

Hell yes. I hated my Skunk2 shocks. They're terrible.

[92smokeaccord]

What springs go with the STR.T shocks? Would Koni's Sport springs fit, do you think?

[xaaronx]

to my knowledge, they don't make the koni sport springs for our accord

i wouldn't exceed a -2" drop with these. i'll be running -1.8" front and -1.6" rear.

[mcdizzle]

they make koni sports (yellows) for the accord, theyre 141 per shock on tirerack.com

[CyborgGT]

So is the overall diameter of the spring coil standardized, or am I going to have to do some hunting to find the right springs to fit the STR.Ts?

For the record, I'm definitely not looking to exceed a 2" drop. I want functional cornering performance.

just buy some springs meant for your car. they come in all different lengths, you just need to find the right brand. here's jak froswhite's daily driver with H&R Sport springs (NOT oe sport. just sport).

that's -1.75" in the front and -1.5" in the rear. about perfect for anybody who drives their accord everyday but wants a lower, more aggressive stance. these would be fine with the Koni STR.T struts

[gloryaccordy]

Koni STR.Ts have stock spring perches like any other shock.

The good thing about them is they have a shortened shaft to give more compression travel for lowered cars.

I am going to get a set and do a full review.

[vinbon63]

Im also looking into getting a set possibly, I want the yellows but the price is fantasic for the STR.T's (orange.) Anyways I've been readin up on them mostly people with vdub's though, they are saying they are very nice and comfortable and go great with drops that aren't very aggressive. I contacted koni and they told me that the STR.T's have the same valving that is in the sports, and pretty much they are a non-adjustable koni sport (yellow) strut on half a turn firmer than full soft. The Koni rep told me that they would be a good match with my neuspeed sports. Now Im just trying to decide if I really want to spend $370 more for the yellows, Im really kind of feeling the 15mm height adjustment on the yellows.
