I'm look at upgrading my suspension, and I see that Koni offers a suspension kit that includes the yellow shocks and koni springs (1.5" drop).

I've never heard of koni lowering springs before, so I was wondering if anyone has experience or knows anyone that has these.

I know their shocks are the ****, so should it be safe to assume that the springs are all good too?

 

the springs in the koni kit are manufactured by eibach, so yes, you can assume they are 'the ****' as well.

 

that's good to hear...thanks!

Actually they are not made by Eibach but another very good quality German spring company made to the Koni specification. We have been selling several damper and spring suspension kits for the last few years and will begin selling the springs alone in the next few weeks.

There are more German spring companies than the few that are well known in the US currently although Eibach and H&R are the leading names known here. Some are not sold under their own brand name in the US or have only recently arrived in this market. Over the years I think Koni has commissioned most of them to build springs at one time or another. The Germans are normally recognized as the world leaders for spring manufacturing.

 

so youre telling me theres more than 2 spring manufacturers in the world?!

Actually I think the English would be my preference for beer but I fully recognize that I am not much of a beer drinker.

On the otherhand, I definitely would not want any English springs or shocks. English cars and English shocks both have a reputation for leaking oil.

There is or was a German retailer (not a spring manufacturer) who was trying to establish footing in the US called Tuning Zuberhor. We had issues with them grey marketing parts here and people being mislead on warranties. I haven't heard them mentioned in a few years.

I know where you can get new seals and shock fluid for said English cars for a decent price. Besides, it's not like they leak. They just mark their spot.
