shock question.
 
i'm just wondering, i have neuspeed race springs... and i'm looking for shocks... now i know the koni yellows would be ideal performance wise.... but not so ideal for my wallet.... so would koni reds be good for those springs as well?? i mean other then the ease of adjustablity on the yellows what is the difference??

red90dx 04-Sep-2003 02:39 PM

if you don't want the yellow's go with the reds $100/strut

red90dx 04-Sep-2003 02:40 PM

or tryout the tokico blues, I think they are far superior then the reds

bbarbulo 04-Sep-2003 02:42 PM

:tsk: no blue...

koni red :nods:

punkindrublic 04-Sep-2003 02:42 PM

i've been told koni reds are better the tociko though....

red90dx 04-Sep-2003 02:42 PM

red90dx 04-Sep-2003 02:43 PM

tokico whites vs reds

punkindrublic 04-Sep-2003 02:43 PM

by difference i mean between koni yellows and reds?

punkindrublic 04-Sep-2003 02:44 PM

tociko whites are the illunima's no??

red90dx 04-Sep-2003 02:44 PM

yes I just got mine.

red90dx 04-Sep-2003 02:45 PM

the reds are nice, but kinda feel spongy, nicole had them in the crx, colvin had those blues in same with B, in the blue integra.

bbarbulo 04-Sep-2003 02:49 PM

slow down boys...

shocks are all good when they are new... it's how well built they are that matters.

Blue are stock replacement more or less
Red are budget performance (internally adjustable)
White are so-so adjustables
Yellow are top of the line (within budget) adjustables

punkindrublic 04-Sep-2003 02:50 PM

the only reason i think reds are best for cost right now is cause i haven't heard anyone say anything bad about them....

red90dx 04-Sep-2003 02:50 PM

bbarbulo, you are just biased.

I would Take tokico over koni,

but koni over agx.

bbarbulo 04-Sep-2003 02:56 PM

KYB<Tokico<Koni

red90dx 04-Sep-2003 03:02 PM

ok, rick, either way of tokico or koni, they will still be a far superior strut than stock oe, which are like those gr2's kyb

you can get reds for about $100/strut
you can get blues for about $120/strut
you can get gr2 for about $120/strut
you can get agx for about $150/strut
you can get whites for about $175/strut
you can get yellows for about $190/strut

red90dx 04-Sep-2003 03:03 PM

then into the badboys ie : tein

punkindrublic 04-Sep-2003 03:18 PM

hey matt are those prices through nicoles friend?

i've heard to many people say koni reds are the best non adjustable shocks, i know they are adjustable but you gotta take them out to adjust.... kyb's can't be lowered for then 1.5" i'm told so they are all out....

red90dx 04-Sep-2003 03:35 PM

i can get those prices for you too..
