Koni Interest-Feeler

[d.o.h.c]

Well as you all know the KYBs really dont do justice to the w-body crowed and thats the best shock out there. Not any more. I have engineered up front and rear koni race shocks for the w-body crowd. It consist of front and rear koni race shocks, 5 way adjustable, twin hydraulic very good shocks. The fronts drop right in, the rears have to be somewhat customized. Here is a pic of the rear mount, solid aluminum.

depends on price. i remember lee wanted close to 500 for front and 500 for rear. i don't think i have that kind of change for something that will need to be replaced.

[d.o.h.c]

How about $800 bolt in? All mounts etc included. Would that be soething you might look into? These are race shocks, 5 way adjustable. They will never wear out, FULL lifttime warrantee. Infact they told me that the shocks will last longer then the car.

What are the 5 adjustments and how much for just fronts?

[d.o.h.c]

It goes from hard to soft. I think stock Konis are 3. For just the front $350. They bolt right in with a couple adapters.

My rears don't have 3 or 5 way. Its 1 adjustment with a knob between stiff as hell and soft...which is about KYB stiffness. I guess I would like to see what the struts are exactly but 350 doesn't sound bad to me. Im kinda interested as I don't know what I am doing with the car just yet.

[d.o.h.c]

Aparently these are the same way but the KONI Tech told me they were 5 way.

That mount looks awesome. I'd like to see pics of both front and rear struts to get a feel for where the adjuster is. I get the feeling that coil overs aren't going to be easy to get on there, and there is no way I'm losing the coil overs.

$800 seems like a fair price...

The coil overs will fit on there, there is nothing that get changes except the shocks. As far as the adjusters there on top, I can shoot some pics up.

So on the front, you can run coil overs OR stock spring set-up?

For the rear, there a Direct bolt in?


The thing I hate about the oem replacement shocks in these cars is that the front especially is too soft. I'm talking with new shocks, too. The front bobs to much. I was just going to have stiffer front springs made, but if these are adjustable then that would be great cause a person can stiffen up the front end when you want.

[d.o.h.c]

Ah, I just got in touch with the company that I buy the shocks from, they went up ALOT. Looks like I will have to refigure my prices.

[GTP_MuNkY]

If they are just a regularly stocked Koni shock, why not price out other places? If I somehow missed how you were modifying the rears, my appologies...

Jamie

[d.o.h.c]

Its not that the shocks are special order, there the only ones that fit in out housings with the right amount of stroke and what not. I think my brother and I will be the only ones with them they cost that much. They are $185 each. I thought the guy said he could do them for $100 but thats not the case.

I will post pics of the final outcome. Sorry guys I thought I could work a deal.

[HayesPerformance]

Or just sell us the adapters and leave buying the shocks up to us.

Which shocks would we have to buy?

[d.o.h.c]

The adapters for the back are $225. Thats for 2 strut mounts and the housings taped, and the old shocks cut out. The shock parts numbers are 8610-1437race.

The front need special adapters and new top plates so that the shcokcs can be adjusted as well, looking at around $150 for those. As far as coil overs, these are just replacement shocks. It has nothgin to do with the outside, so coil overs will work on these.
