Yeah, I got 'em. Installed them. Love them. Koni ownz you!!!

Anyone looking to do any real suspension modifications short of full blown coil overs need to make these your only choice in shocks/struts. I used to own Tokico HPs (blue) and they were good. Don't get me wrong, I liked them. But the Koni's really are that much better.

The Koni's have more compression dampening and way better rebound control. I run on Eibach Pro Kits for springs. Don't think I'll be changing from this setup unless I go full coilovers. yeah, right....me and what $1700?

Haven't been to an auto-x or drag with them yet, but I do know for a fact the car hooks up better and is more controllable on the edge. Turn in doesn't feel apparently faster, but I do have front and rear tower braces too, so I don't think I would notice too much of a difference there.

Just an FYI....spend the money wisely and get the good stuff the first time. It'll save you money in labor doing it over later.

I just ordered pro-kits. I got the tokico "sport" shocks from MachV. I wanted to go with the koni adjustables, but 700 bucks was too much for me :). You think that I'll be happy with my set up? Keep in mind, I'm used to the stock suspension.

I got my koni yellows for 475 from shox.com

machv is a ripoff

opauto should be cheaper

Damn near anything is better than the stock suspension. The setup you are going to is identical to what I had. I had the Tokico HPs. I thought they were pretty good for the price I paid for them. But I do know that over time, the Tokico's will not hold their dampening pressure like the Koni's will.

Then again, I did put about 75k miles on those shocks and over 350 drag passes in 3 years, so you could say that I beat the hell out of them.

And I did get my Koni's from Shox.com as well. Whoever is going to get them for $475 is getting them for $50 less than I did.

Also, the B&G coil over setup is on sale right now. Retail price is $1695. You can get those through Shox.com for $895. These are true coilovers. And I'm sure that the shocks are rebuildable as well.

yeah the 475 I payed was over a year ago, gosh darn inflation

How much better would you say those Konis are then the Illumina?
