This should be great for those who do not want to spend the extra money on coilovers and can now lower their cars with Konis and lowering springs.

However I don't know the prices, maybe around $1500 for set of four

 

sounds great but JICs coilover only cost $2200 ish? for extra $700 I'd rather get that

 

hmm, from what I've seen the jic crosses are over $3k here, but H&R coilover kit is around $2200

 

sounds like I can start a side business here since they cost 200,000 yen in japan

EDIT: seems to be higher these days hmmm looks like 240,000 yen now

 

240000 yen = $_____ ?

 

$2626

 

I've got those on the Zcar project I have in the shop (and we've run them on others) as well as the DE Miata we're in the middle of converting to a SpecMiata.

Konis are a great product, but are MUCH more spring specific. Make sure you get with the folks at Koni to match the spring range. Go to stiff (and the range typically is narrow) and you will have adjustable struts that simple DON'T respond to the adjusters...Ask me how I know...

Seems like they are late to the party.

 

If you've ever had the chance to drive on Koni coil overs you can tell the difference. koni stopped making coil over fronts in 1996 when PCNA changed from Boge to Gabriel and Gabriel refused to sell Koni the front strut shells. I had some stock front strut shells sent to Koni and they manufactured fully externally adjustable shortened front and rear struts for my 993 based on the spring rates I sent them. These worked fantastic and you didn't have to worry about the springs coming off the perches. These have positively been the best street shocks I have ever owned. I'm sure you can find better track struts, but for the street, these were the best. (better than the bilsteins I currently have on the 996).

 

I thought bilsteins make better than koni.

 

The Koni's just felt better. Very controlled. Hard to get them "upset". Perhaps it may have been the NA 993 with better front to rear balance and my comparison to the 996tt is unfair.

 

koni makes good stuff last time i ordered koni shocks my cost ona mass produced platform was 86$ each when i had accounts at wholesale automotive shops. id hope they are not 1500$ for shocks only

 

I have run Konis on all the racing porsches I have owned love them and the idea that you can dial them up or down. just added some to my 914 tube car with a 3.6.

 

i love konis had dem on the sti
