Turns out that the strut mount on the drivers side was in backwards.

Welcome

I will send you a pm tonight

 

Handles and rides great.

Love em

 

Where did everyone order their Koni's from?

I'm gonna order my fronts soon, and rears sometime down the road

 

I got mine from Tirerack.com but search around on the vendor section, there maybe a GB going on.

 

The group buy is over with as of Wednesday I think. I'm gonna try to hold off for another one for a little while jsut to see if one pops up.

 

ok dumb question.. but wtf does the number after KONI mean in everyones sig? i'm geussing your the 11th member with them but how do you find that out?

 

Mine come in tommorow, I cant wait to drive my car without the annoying sheet metal flapping sound that the stock ones make

People say when they get them in this thread only. Not all the people in the world, just people who actually post in this thread

 

haha yea i realized that when i went back and read the first post

hit us up guys!!





Adam

 

its their member number


Sweet let me know when you get them on.

 

my mechanic said I need a Collar or some thing to install these shocks??? He says hes not sure if he can even cut the struts....I guess bring it somewhere better?

What else would I need to install these shocks and inserts?

 

then hes an idiot.. i dont have them but i can almost %100 gaurantee u they go right on without any modifications.

 

You have to cut apart the front strut and drill a hole in the bottom of them.

The struts arent no mod, the shocks are direct bolt-in

 

yeah he is he keeps going on about this collar that I need the front struts..lol

Another question what stiffness settings do you guys usually leave your rears set too?

 

will these work for my 04 ion redline? This winter takin beating on suspension.

 

Check the thread in the Auto-X forum on RLF.com. You can do it, but it's not the nice easy setup on the balts. Our upper mounts are different, so you need to do some trimming and remove the front strut if you want to adjust them.

On that note, I will be putting them in my car before the next auto-x season starts up. Anyone have suggestions for tried and true settings for auto-x?

 

yes they will, you have to cut the front struts

I have not auto-x'd on them but from my set up I would put the front a half turn from full stiff. I have left my rears on the "stock out of the box" setting. But with the TTR rear sway the front seems soft again. But find an open parking lot and get some safe turns in and see what you feel you need. what rotates and what doesn't so on and so on.

 

Oh I know I'll have to do some test and tune but I'm just looking for a quick baseline since unlike you lucky bastards I'll have to take out my front struts to adjust them since its a RL and not a balt. Thanks for the help tho.

 

oh damn i forgot you have to remove the whole thing to adjust it, I would go with the half to 3/4 turn from full firm and that should be a good starting point. Just keep in mind you have about 2 full turns or so of adjustment.

 

So a crashed my car and I am gunna part it out, What do you guys think is a good price for just the rear Koni's? like 4K miles on em.... ?
