koni question

[lockmonkey]

I have KYB agx's on my DA paired with ground controls. It's alot better than the tokico blues, however they still can't tame the stiff GC springs.

I had Konis...I would go with Illuminas though, as you can rock sleeves on them. Illuminas + Omnisport sleeves FTW

thanks guys, that's helpful.....

I'm starting to think that h23 might be on the mark with the neuspeed cup kit.......this is a little but on the neuspeed site they have the cup kit for $599, and if you add up the separate components:

NEUSPEED/Koni Shock - SPORT Front PN :. 8041.1167SP3 $123
NEUSPEED/Koni Shock - SPORT Rear PN :. 8041.1168SP3 $123
NEUSPEED Race Springs - 2.2F / 2.0R PN :. 55.20.34 $199

total: about $450

what's up with that? The kit doesn't throw in a camber kit or anything, the only wording I notice in the kit is : "In addition, this kit includes a complete set of NEUSPEED/Koni Sport dampers. They feature 5 ride height adjustment grooves (allows ±14mm of height adjustment), external rebound damping adjustment, and Koni's limited lifetime warranty."

the shocks on their own all included: "adjustable spring perch to level the car (5 machined grooves on the shock body for 5 positions of adjustment) - the most desirable handling position, as well as, a 20mm shorter droop length for use with lowering springs."

I admit there is a lot I don't know about suspension, so if you need to flame me for being a noob, I will take it with a smile just please explain to me the difference after you've finished the flaming.

Also, does anyone recommend the Ingall's Camber correction kits with poly urethane bushings that are sold on Neuspeed's site? Thanks a lot!

the cup kit shocks have more ride height adjustability than the normal koni yellows.

yeah, that's true of normal yellows, but these are IDENTICAL Neuspeed custom Yellows like in the kit. ITs on the same page of the Neuspeed site:

http://www.neuspeed.com/products/product_list.asp?ltype=ns_import&app=49|AC&type=2

the codes are the same, I'm almost certain the shocks in the kit are identical to the shocks offered alone on the Neuspeed site.

The price on the shocks is for each corner, so for the shocks it's about $500.

It's 123 per strut meaning it would come out to 692.79 shipped for everything vs. their 599.99 shipped price for the set.

If you want just the SP3 struts(5 perch koni) the best deal is from neuspeed directly since it is 492.80 shipped. I've seen normal konis with the 3 perch setup go for more then that, the best price that comes to mind is 508 shipped.

For the SP3 kit the best price I've seen is 560 shipped http://www.importhorizon.com/neuspeedkoni.html, but I've never bought from them before so I wouldn't know how good their service is.

thanks guys, I definitely deserved some flaming for that one
sorry about that. I might go with importhorizon, and if I do I'll let everyone know how they were. Thanks a lot!

Hi, everyone I'm in the same boat try decide on a good suspension kit for my 92 accord. I been reading everyone thread, that helps a lot, and the reviews are quite helpful as well. But I'm waiting on my H22a and was wonder will this have any effect on which suspension I pick..... from everyone review I'm looking at H&R, Koni and germany make one that start with a V because I forgot the name of it.
