yoes,

i just had a set of koni reds installed with a set of eibach pro-kit springs. GREAT, comfy combo, IMHO. the car's an 00 sir coupe.

prior to installing, it was suggested to me that it'd probably be best to go with a stock springs & shocks instead of the Red's in the winter, because i run the chance of them seizing/blowing up due to temperature drop.

anyone run with koni reds in the winter? i really REALLY don't like the idea of having to swap my suspension in and out every winter season...

any experience/input with this would be most appreciated... thx

 

my friend has the same
he never had a problem with it
you just need to take good care of it and drive carefuly

 

I had Koni reds on an old 1991 civic si I had a few years back.
No issues in winter weather.

 

ok thanks - so what do i need to do exactly to take care of them and drive carefully?????

 

put grease on them and just make sure you are not doing anything dumb
like trying to drift or do donuts

 

been running reds for 4+ years all year round and no problems

 

alright, i'll brave the winter with the reds on. thanks for the respones guys.

how do i grease these things? what kind of grease do i need? or should i just ask a shop to do it?

 

Just drive like you always do....you don't need to baby them or grease them or kiss them at night....DON"T WORRY

Also they have a life time warrenty

A:The KONI warranty is a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser against defects in materials and workmanship and against wear out for as long as you own that car registered for street use. The warranty does not cover damage to the parts caused by misuse, misapplication, installation, motorsports, etc. The warranty does not include mounting bushings. If you determine you have a defective damper you can either contact the company which you purchased the unit(s) from or contact KONI North America directly at warranty@koni-na.com or 859-586-4100. To process your warranty, we will require a copy of the purchase receipt and a vehicle registration. We will generate a return goods authorization (RGA) and can replace the dampers in advance at your discretion. For more specific information about the warranty see inside back cover of our technical guide.

 

you don't need to grease anything. these reds will outlast the car. the only change in the winter is that the ride gets harsher because of the cold.

 

thanks guys

 

The reds will be no different than any other strut in the winter...will not leak because of it etc. no extra care would need to be taken either..only difference you will notice with this is you will drag bottom lol...because you are lowered....i go through this every year...tim hortons drive throughs are the worst ......
