Koni shocks
Belated Merry Xmas folks,
I mentioned a while back I had shocks 100,000km travelled (these are mated to Pedders Sportsryder coil springs - very stiff ). Well I am looking at changing the shocks. I did some research and found that Koni Yellow adjustable shocks would be the best match with the springs I have. How ever I have some questions if ppl can chime in please. 1- Is it true that Koni shocks are made to suit 2010 model zed upwards? I personally don't believe that - but it doesn't hurt to check. 2 - I have trust issues dealing with companies I buy from overseas - not good experience in the past. If I was to get the koni's (cheaper in USA than Oz) could I ask a forum member to volunteer to have the shocks mailed to them - so that they can check the items are all true and in order. Then mail koni's to me here in Australia? I would pay for all shippage obviously. Just thought I would ask - I was looking to get the koni's from tyrerack. While I am here, I thought I might also ask - are the Nismo S-tuned suspension kit you can buy, a worth while kit to get instead of just getting shocks? I have been toying with the thought of getting the GT-spec under body bracing 6 & 4 point + rear strut cross brace. Much more track time being the objective next year on a fortnightly basis during the dry season. I raced a lot last season but with friends cars. The springs I have now are lower than stock, wondering if the nismo suspension kit be a good idea to raise height of car to accommodate the bracing - as not to scrape while daily driving. I scrape a little now. Also in the near future to install - Z1 motorsports urethane engine/transmission mounts. Diff bush kit (whiteline) Upgraded oil cooler Diff oil cooler Quaiffe LSD with 4.08 final drive Camber kits (rear camber kit + upper/lower control arms ... SPL?? Upper/lower front end bush kits. At present my car has all the bolt ons custom headers/custom cbe exhaust/hi-flow 100 cell cats G3 stillen intakes DBA4000 slotted rotors front+rear ENDLESS mx72 pads (brembo brake calliper package came with car) braided brake lines and braided clutch line EXEDY custom flywheel with organic clutch plate + heavy duty csc. Whiteline sway bars front/rear 19inch stock rays wrapped with Potenza RE50 275mm rear/ 245mm front It is all a matter now for handling upgrades I had been holding off until now that I need new shocks. Phew....long winded post, but I appreciate in advance comments to come. Cheers Pierre
