lol i like when the unsuspecting guy across the bar tell the bartender that hes going to buy my girls drinks and little does he know that she was getting me a drink too. Ill usually make sure he's looking, take a swig and cheers him lol. nothing better than free drinks I usually sit back and watch too. My girl is pretty trustworthy. If a guy starts hitting on her and she'll usually point me out, but if he still tries hitting on her, thats when i step in.

 

Hmm, not sure about prices on the race shocks. but I went through Weaksauce and Im pretty sure I paid under 1000 with 4 tophats. mind you I dont think I have the race shocks. just the normal koni yellow/GC set-up. and shipping to you may be different.

My advice, call weaksauce, have it shipped to boosted as he has offered to EF'ers from Canada, take the road trip and pick em up if that is a reasonable enough of a drive for you.

Does anyone know the price of just the springs? Really want to get a stiffer spring, wish I didnt go so low from the start.

 

Too much for revalved spss3 konis. Are you looking at 8011 konis? And you don't need top hats with either of those since they are shortened.

 

Too be honest i dont know what koni im lookin for. And what do you mean i dont need top hats? i gave away my stock ones so i assumed i needed hats.

Do you know of a better place i can buy for cheaper? you can pm me if youd like

 

ship them to me, i told you before.

They where mint RnRs, ask crxbart :/, One day I will shine, until then im grinding work out like no other, another paper on deck...

 

yah i know, but im kinda holding out for the brakes cause that'll be a hefty shipping charge im sure

 

dude what ever u want, i dont care. i know Chris saved some loot.

 

alright cool ill let you know. pm me your address

 

Just check to see if you can buy em new. Thats my next purchase form honda, new corner lights.

 

I feel your pain! I wish I knew as much as I did when I purchased my set-up... and I still feel clueless. Best way I have come to understand it: You have 2 options of shocks, The sport or race. race being the re-valved and shortened ones, meaning the re-valving will allow a stiffer spring and the shortening will allow more travel. I am unsure of what is actually done to the sport version's but they are supposed to be valved enough to withstand a rate of 1000, I MAY BE WRONG. and they are not shortened.

I was unaware of both the options honestly when purchasing mine, b/c I probably would have gone for the spss2 race version. but I do however have 4 top hats which should increase travel by 1 more inch, basically making up for a little bit of the lack of shortening. also, I did not want to disassemble my oem suspension for the oem tops, just in-case I choose to sell them or reuse them.

So in short, top hats will increase travel slightly. the normal sport version KONI should be fine if you plan to run a softer spring. I am unsure of this too but I hope its true...I think you can send your sport versions in to be re-valved and shortened in the future if you choose to do so, If someone can clarify this??

I believe the race version is about double the price of the sports as well.. I am not 100% on any of this, just what I have gathered.. anyone can chime in and clarify or correct. Hope it helps.

 

Yes I did, thanks buddy!

 

Just be careful at the border, if you dont declare and are searched they will seize the parts. Best bet is to have some sort of paypal receipt for a decent amount ie dont show up with brand new Konis and a receipt for $50...

 

yah i was actually wondering about that. What do i do at the border? because arent you allowed to declare only a certain amount if your only there for the day? How do i explain a purchase of $1000 or more?

 

you don't...just keep going

 

All of your shocks blew and someone stole your springs. Done.

 

you bought it from me, used simple. I once sold a j's hood for 100 bucks lol

 

or plan it out and order it around the same time as a meet. whens Niagara meet?

 

Anyone here have any experience with a boomslang conversion harness ? I'm converting from obd0 dpfi non vtec to obd1 mpfi vtec.

Really? Dude rywire

 

haha some great ideas, maybe ill just buy a gun and tell the border official to ignore anything he see's in the back seat. I think he'll be cool with it.

 

What ever and we can hit up jim's steak out, ask chris about that place lol

 

i love steak

 

eating steak and cheese sub right now

 

:shakes fist:

 

I believe the off-the-shelf (OTS) Koni's can handle up to 550-600 lb. springs.

The extended top hats compensate for lowering your vehicle and essentially blowing out the shocks after a few thousand miles. The top hats are recommended for the OTS Konis.

Yes, you can send them in to be revalved and shortened.

Weksauce has OTS Koni'sxGround Control for $890. I believe the SPSS3 Koni's and GC's were about $1400 new
