I am wondering if anyone has had any experience using the koni reds? I think I'm interested in them but I wanted to see what others had to say about them. I like the idea of the adjustable yellows.. but even @ 800 bux that's a lot of things to be done engine wise... and what is the best price ne one has seen on the red's in cdn dollars

 

cosmic uses them

 

I run Koni Reds with H+R Sports and am very satisfied

 

Koni Reds are excellent shocks if you don't need anything easily adjustable.

 

how much do they go for?

 

Expect to pay about 600 for a set.

 

price depends on what kind of car...one of the affiliates of TCC sell them for $550 but that's for 4th gens. Call and ask.

 

I've gotten a couple quotes for 500... I'm just not sure if it's worth the extra 300 for adjustable yellows

 

it's worth it if u need it (racing etc)

 

is there anything internally different between koni red and yellow... aside from the adjustablity?? like can reds be used on race springs? usefully? neuspeed recommends using koni yellows with there race springs... but are koni reds just as good in terms of handling suspension lowered more the 1.5"

 

get KYB AGX's .... cheaper than Koni's and adjustable

 

i think koni yellows and reds are the same except that the yellws allow for adjustability and u can be a bit lower with the yellows because u an set the settings/perch lower. What are the tokico counterparts for the konis? but i dont think kybs are designed for drops more than 2"

 

xenon_194 if you use kyb agx's on a car more then 1.5" lower it voids warrenty meaning they are probably not good under those conditions

Joker for tociko the koni red counter part is there "blue" shock and the koni yellow counter part is the illunima's

 

mike, I ordered the REDs, cant wait to get them in, BTW, they are adjustable, but do it before you put them into the car.

 

PunkInDrublic - Ohh didn't know that, oh well, thats good I got some Eibach Pro Kits (1.5 front and 1.3 rear). I don't mind this drop, it looks nice and performs well too.

 

so the 5 way illuminas are the yellow counterpart?

 

pretty much, but I believe on yellows u can adjust ur ride's height somewhat with the adjustability, but wtih illumina's I don't think u can, correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Koni is a better shock than KYB/Tokico. No if's, and's, or but's.

 

agreed, but not everyone has the $$ to shell out for the best shock...... so KYBs and Tokico's serve as a great alternative

 

with the knoi yellows you can adjust the right with them... not to the extent of coilovers but i think the range is an inch
