Default Kony Yellows! Who's using them & how do you like them?

I have a 98 civic 2dr & currently it has Ground Control coil overs (not custom rates) and KYB AGX. My KYBs are pretty much done already & i'm thinking about buying the Konis. Just curious how you guyz like them. Looking for something more comfortable than the KYB. My car is basically stock, lowered with a 2 finger gap, my daily driver, & is driven on long distance road trips as well. Thanks for your inputs....

Koni's are amazing the only real thing effecting your road trip is your wheel size and tire sidewall height.

I've got a couple of friends that have them on their cars w/ground controls and they swear by them. I haven't put any suspension mods on my SI yet but I'm probably goin to put the same set up on.

I have Koni yellows, just with my tein s techs for now. I love them. Sure they're expensive shocks but with them set all the way firm, good tires, my s techs, and sway bars it handles really well, and with them set softer it rides nice enough to transport me from Miami to North Carolina (college to home) pretty comfortably. Go for them!

I'm riding on Koni Yellows with Eibach Sportlines. Excellent ride quality, I seldom crank it up to full firmness. I've had them for 4 years and happy with them.

they ride nice but dont try small *** springs, like the fully adjustable ones,
i think thats why i had a problem with them, the circlip broke off and the car fell to the ground, i think it was cause the springs would lose tension

They are great. After trying many different brands, I doubt I'd ever buy another brand to replace them unless they prove otherwise.

Keep in mind that GC sleeves for Koni Sport shocks (Yellows) are different than the sleeves for KYB shocks. You'll either need adapter rings or different sleeves.

If you want more comfort, you probably want softer spring rates. But I certainly wouldn't recommend against buying the Konis, as I do love my set.
