Anyone, Koni shock upgrade?

osbornsm · 05-01-2017, 09:42 AM

I know there's a few people who have swapped to Konis.

I would like to retain stock height and just swap out the shocks.

Is this advisable?
What did you think of your handling results?

Okay 300 views and no thoughts. Innnteresting.

So maybe i'll ask if there's any coilovers that don't lower the ride height.

I have the Koni Sports on my 370z and I love them. They are probably the best you can get. I also run Swift Spec-R springs so I am about 1 inch lower than stock.

That said, I see no issue with using the Konis and stock springs. You may have a very slight drop in height.

I'd do it. The stock dampers are too soft anyway.

Upgrade to '13+ shocks? We know they are good, fits the bill for what you're looking for.

I swapped my 2013 sport shocks for Konis. There is no comparison. The Koni is a superior shock.

Bordering on spam there onzedge. I have been thinking of going Koni when my shocks need to be placed.

Thank you for the unsolicited advice that I am ignoring as I do all such comments from Newbies.

Have a great day.

Can't say for the Z, but back in the day I had koni's on my 2000 Honda Prelude combined with Eibach springs and loved them.

I run Koni on my 240Z as well.
