Don`t get me started LOL

Not available for Honduhs. We have them for the Audi/VW/BMW/Mustang/Porsche. They are pretty sick. Ride quality is fantastic. With the Pro-Street and our anti-roll bars, our Focus pulls over a G on the skidpad with ease. Problem is the Honda market wants something "32 way adjustable, y0", but will not pay more than $699.00 for it, even if the product has a lifetime warranty

This is why I just stick w/ Koni/GC on all the cars I build.

PERSONALLY if i'm going to make an investment in some full coilovers,
they would HAVE to have dual height adjust(at theshock body and at the springperch).

won't mess around with anything else from now on.

i've got my koni's right now, and they're great, and i've got enough suspension travel.
having dual adjustable perches would really be soooo nice though.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by KOALA YUMMIES &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">32 way adjustable is way too much (5 is enough for me). And screw tein too .

So the catalog that I saw was incorrect, they're not even available? </TD></TR></TABLE>

5 is better than the 4 on agx's..
but **** i wouldnt mind having 8 and up..

kinda wish koni's were adjustable in steps instead of a smooth twist,
hard to make sure you have each side the same...

clicks are just that clicks and don't mean ****.

The differnce should be in what the minimum and maximum settings are, click's to me are a marketing thing.

Look if koni wanted to they could have about 100 clicks they don't you can put them were you want them and there is a big difference between the lowest and highest setting

hahaha, you seem to never get what i mean in my posts.

I meant i like the clicks because you can count a specific ammount of clicks
so each side has the exact same ammount of damping.
with koni's it's always aproximate, no matter how hard you try.

though i'm sure it's close enough, heh.

I know that the quality of the Koni/GC setup cant be beat, which is probably the way I'll go, but thanks for all the feedback.

I wish they did make these for Hondas though, I hear nothing but the best about Eibach. </TD></TR></TABLE>

have you looked into the edelbrock suspension at all? they run ERS springs and people seem to like them its escaping me who does there dampers though

I`ll be testing the Edelbrock units in a few weeks. Their shocks are pretty nice.

They look very professional. I like the inverted setup (because of the focused single pivot top mount). I wonder if inverting the shock REALLY reduces unsprung weight? Does anybody know how much a set of these cost?

From the extensive research I've done on those, expect to pay about 1200. Beyond that, I have no idea how they are. They look cool and sound like a good idea, but, as I type this, I'm sitting in King Motorsports, looking at their S2K with the CF hardtop and mugen bumper and other goodies as such...getting a Koni Sport Kit installed.

I have them on my Civic. I didn't pay for them since my car was built by Edelbrock for a SEMA show car with the first production turbo kit also installed on it.

I like the ride, its very comfortable for daily driving. The spring rates are too soft for hard driving, needs some stiffer ERS springs for sure!
