does anyone have these or heard anything about them??



for more info: http://www.koni.com/_cars/_suspension/afram.html

I ordered a set and should get them by the end of this week....

 

anyone.....any input at all??

 

I have them, and they are installed. They ride reasonably well, although a little stiff. In full "Firm" damping, they are REAL stiff. I like 'em.

cool....finally someone that has them..hehe...
so they ride a little stiff eh.....that's cool...i hope i like em!

 

every person i know with them, say they love the ride and handling,...
BUT,... they all say and i see for my self that the rear sit higher than
the front when the coilovers are slammed on all 4 corners.

 

so when they are fully slammed will they tuck 15s?? or does it leave a gap in the rear?

 

When fully "SLAMMED" I would expect it to still not tuck 15's.

If the only thing you're after is to tuck 15s, then I would not spend the $1,000 or so on those coil-overs. Just buy some el-cheapo coil-over sleeves.

I have the pictured Konis and the fucktard that owned them before me (bought them used) CUT the top coil off of each spring to "SLAM" his ride y0.

Thanks to that *******, my Konis are blown to hell after 1 week of use - they were already on their last leg it appears.

Anyways, besides that I've ridden on non-cut ones and they ride GREAT, but why do you want them?

Do you want it to handle really good or just to lower it and still have good ride quality?

A suggestion if you want it to handle really well and cost about the same:

Buy Koni Yellows (exact same thing w/o the collars and perches) and then either buy some good G/C sleeves and have custom springs ordered for them.

The Koni springs seen in that pic are SOFT - only 25% stiffer than stock according to Koni. With custom-rate springs you can get even stiffer spring rates. If you only want to lower the car with a good ride and all, then get the full coil-overs. If you're looking to have a more aggressive package, you might want to start looking into spring rates and see what might work better to make it handle even better.

I'm ditching my Koni "coil-overs" for the Koni Yellows and custom-rate Eibachs for my Koni sleeves which I'm going to transfer from my blown ones to the new ones.

The cost is actually slightly LESS than what Koni wants, and you could actually get something with stiffer spring rates this way.

The Koni "Full Coil-Overs" aren't really anything more than off the shelf Koni Yellows with their own sleeve bolted on and their springs.

used to have a set. you can tuck the front but not the back. good stuff. buy tein if you gonna spend $1000-$1500 on coilover set. if you just looking to slam your ride, arospeed will do just fine

 

well what i really want is a nice drop and a real good ride....not really into the slammed thing, i wouldn't mind slamming for a show or something....but i think i'm going to stay with them cuz i got them for $750 straight from koni........and if anyone else is interested i can probably get them for that price shipped if i get a few peeps interested....i'm picking them up tomorrow so i'll let everyone know how i like them once i get them on...

has anyone else bought Full Koni Coilovers?
I might pick up a set.
Any feedback on everyday riding on these full coilovers?
