the prob I find with the reds are getting all the struts adjusted properly, they have to go into a vice, then you push down the rod and turn it.

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



I have a set of the blues on coilovers...It rides really nice and it sticks the tires to the road (definately no complaints, one of the best things ive done for my car) ...I would recomend them But It seems koni has the lead in the market so maybe they are even better??

that is what everyone is telling me.... and the reds are adjustable you just gotta take them out to adjust.... which is fairly easy anyways....

i think koni reds are getting the call in 2 weeks

monroe sensa-trac!

hahaha j/k

but on a serious note .... if you're going to spend the money save up and treat yourself to Koni Yellows, yes they're pricey but the absent of the money cusioning the wallet i sit on is made up by the shocks.

KONI Improved !

Rick, with the current group buy of $800 taxes in on Yellows, you can't afford not to. I will be more than happy to hand over my deposit to BB1DNA on Wednesday. By the time you end up paying $500 for reds it doesn't work out, Yellows are way more than twice the shock, 'specially if you're gonna auto-x more with me and Jason next year.

the problem is i wont have 800 within the week or whenever the deadline is now... in my case i would benefit getting reds for 400 now and using that other 400 down the road for snow tires or a camber kit and alignment

i know the yellows are far superior but i can't budget it right now :cry:

^good shock...pricey form what I can recall.....just get the reds put them in see how they ride feel what they need take them out adjust them then call her quits.....you will be happy...koni yellows are like the cliche thing to suggest...if I was spendign that much on a shock I'd just spend a couple hundred more and get some teins that are perfectly matched yada yada....maybe next do a cheapo window weld poly mount ghetto fix, works good help wheel hop mroe responsive.....I'm tired I said good day
