Anyone, Koni shock upgrade?
 
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.
  1. Is this advisable?
  2. What did you think of your handling results?

:tiphat:

Okay 300 views and no thoughts. Innnteresting.

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

:confused:

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.
