We here at MJM read a lot of misinformation on the forums about which shocks are best to use with what springs and what springs are okay to use with what shocks and so on and so forth. When it comes to KONI Shock Absorbers, you have options and every damper is built to cater to a different driver wanting a different thing from their suspension. You have Yellow, you have Red, you have Orange and you have FSD. What are the differences? Take a look below:

• The Sport "Yellow" Shock - for use on any aftermarket lowering spring, the Sport Shocks are fully rebound dampening adjustable and the ultimate performance shock for the street. The heavy duty valving of the Sport Shocks make them great for both the track and the street. Again, for use on any aftermarket lowering spring. Include a lifetime warranty.

• The STR.T "Orange" Shock - for use on either stock (OEM) springs or any aftermarket lowering spring, the STR.T Shocks are a non-adjustable shock for those on a budget needing new dampers for any type of spring being used on the vehicle. Again, these entry-level shocks are valved for use on both stock (OEM) shocks or on any aftermarket lowering springs. Include a lifetime warranty.

• The Special "Red" Shock - for use only with stock (OEM) springs and *not* for use on aftermarket lowering springs, the Special Shocks are fully rebound dampening adjustable and are a great upgrade over your stock shock. Perfect for the driver not wanting to lower the car, but wanting an adjustable shock where tuning the softness or firmness of the shock is possible. Again, for use on stock (OEM) springs only. Include a lifetime warranty.

• The FSD (Frequency Selective Damping) Shock - for use on stock (OEM) springs or a very mildly rated lowering spring like the Eibach Pro-Kit Springs, the FSD Shocks combine excellent road holding and handing with a damper that adjusts its dampening on its own (on the fly) and detects road conditions, be it on rough or smooth streets, to automatically firm up, or soften up, to best accommodate your vehicle's handling and ride comfort. Again, for use on stock (OEM) springs or mildly rated springs like the Eibach Pro-Kit Springs. Include a lifetime warranty.

Do you have any reading materials to help me get more familiar with suspension setups? I would like to better understand the differences suspension components can make when setting up a car.
