is it true that if you want aftermarket shocks/struts for a type sh, you need to use the base model springs? will they even fit?

 

You've got it backwards... if you use Type-SH struts, then you have to get Type-SH springs. If you use base-model struts, you have to use base-model springs. If you buy a spring/damper combo, then it doesn't matter.

 

thats the thing, koni doesnt make shocks/struts for the sh, and i read that if i get koni yellows, they will fit on the sh if i use base model springs

If KONI doesn't make any for the Type-SH, then just get the ones that they make for the base-model and pair them with a set of springs from a base-model as well. Then it will work fine.

All-in-all, base-model dampers will work fine on a Type-SH when paired with base-model springs.

 

so it wont mess up the atts? does anyone have koni yellows on their sh?

I will once the stockers blow

 

Koni Sport Yellow dampers will work with a Type SH. I know, I have them. Here's the catch, you can't use stock springs with their dampers. You must install aftermarket springs. I'm running Eibach Pro Kit springs with the Koni Sport and the combo is great. Many many others run this combo.

ok, so do i use aftermarket springs that are made for the sh, or aftermarket springs that are made for the base?

If you are using the KONI dampers, then pair them with springs fom a base-model, unless the dampers specifically say that they are for a Type-SH application ( which they shouldn't ).

 

anyone one else have koni yellows on their sh?
