Anyone running koni shocks?

I have my Eibach Prokit coming in next week. I figure Ill do the shocks at the same time. Anyone got a rough idea on prices and where to get them?

I have a set sitting right beside me , there the koni sport adjustable ( yellows ) to go with the Ground Control adj coil overs . Best place to buy them is shox.com by far . I picked mine up from mopac cause dave gave me a good deal but shox.com is still cheape r and they have free shipping to canada on the konis right now . 730 $ usd for a set of 4 from them Best I could get up here was 1130 cnd $$ (tax in ) . reg was 1234.00 + tax up here from about three months back . Hope it helps

Holy ****!! I guess at that price DA's will be out of the question. Now get those installed. I wanna here a full report. What other suspension goodies you got going on there Twitch? I was thinking of SFC's and panhand bars to finish the suspension mods.

Your going to want control arms as the stockers suck . In order if I were to do i again it would be the shocks 1st . The stock fbody shocks suck *** and really ,really suck once its lowered . I would sudgest an adjustable panhard rod , torque arm , rear control arms , subframes . See sig for my currently installed suspension mods .

Ok I just got back from installing these at the shop . To spite the drivers side figting me every step of the way , These things rock !! Im running 500 # front and 200 # rear linear rate springs with the shocks adjusted 3 sweeps from full hard out back and fronts 3.5 sweeps from full hard . I am absolutly amazed at how streetable these are around town with the heavier rates . If anything I think the stock shocks must have just been letting the suspension move around too much and bottom out because it feels so crisp and responsive and actually *smother* over the dippies . It is a bit harsher over the small little black patches of **** the useless road guys smear all over ( you know to cover the cracks ) but anything that actually requires suspension travel and especialy quick transition is WAY WAY WAY more responsive , beyond what I had expected !! Anyways , am happy . 10 out of 10 for making the car feel fun , tight and exotic

Next : subframes , kmember , a arms , del ur ium bushings or rod ends out back and a fancy looking strut tower brace to bedazle the ricers

I LOVE MODS !!
