Coilover help

[SSMtC05]

Hey all what is the best all around type of coilovers for the best price. Not looking to spend more than 1000-1100 perferably shipped. Not looking at vmaxx at all heard bad things. Looking for best all around quality handling and ride. Something that isnt going to make me bounce like a honda on cut springs. Want a nice clean ride dont mind a little stiffness.

dunno bout the quality (im sure its prolly good tho), i dont have COs, but the konis are only 1049..maybe less if you search around.

 

[SSMtC05]

Thats what I was looking at, the Koni's. From what i've read they seem to be pretty decent value wise and performance wise for a coilover. Not as well made as the PSS9's but decent.

why are you getting them? if youre not tracking the car, then theyll prolly be the best bang for your buck.

 

[SSMtC05]

Getting them mostly for looks, and because I cant seem to find a spring with just the right Height for me. So with coilovers i have infinate possibilites to find the perfect height, plus with springs shocks and struts your almost at teh price of coilovers anyways. Also install would be a little easier since you wouldnt need a spring compressor and you dont have to take the stock front struts apart just pull em out as a unit. I just dont want a shitty ride.

MJM Autohaus is having a special on the Koni coils. $1049 including a free Neuspeed RSB and free shipping. I'm thinking about getting a set of these since they are damping adjustable (rebound only) and are a couple hundred $$$ less than other damping adjustable coils from what I have found. From what I can tell Koni is a well-regarded company too. If anyone has these I'd be interested in hearing some feedback.

 

[SSMtC05]

That isnt a bad looking package at all, I may have to go ahead and order it.

what did you hear? i've heard exactly the opposite :iono:

 

[SSMtC05]

I heard they bounce like crazy shortly after install. Especially if turned down all the way. And just heard overall yo get what you pay for.

Do you know of anyone that's riding on the Koni coils? It's a toss up between those and the KW V2's, but that's a $400 toss up...
