Hey all im about to get my friends gcc+koni yellows. They are made to fit the 96-00ek so im pretty sure they are good for the em1. Anyways he wants to sell to me for 400$, they have like 30000 miles on them or so. Good deal?

 

I don't know about the deal as I am not up to date on the used parts market, but as far as fitment, they will indeed work on an EM1.

Search the H-T Marketplace for an idea of what used suspension prices are like currently.

 

thanks=D any other opinions?

 

Sounds like a great deal. What spring rates are the GC's?

I paid about $850 total for my GC/Koni setup (a few years ago), and I still have the Konis with 150,000 miles on them and they're still working great.

 

On the Koni's If they are standard "yellows" they also carry a lifetime warrenty.

 

So the SP3's don't have a lifetime warranty?

 

Yeah they are the koni yellows..... dont konw what you mean by standard... uhhh i thought koni yellow was koni yellow. haha anyways since they come with the warranty, that means i can call up koni anytime and get them replaced/refunded? Sweet =D

 

Koni warranty only applies to the original purchaser of the shocks, and can't be transferred. You might want to check with Koni North America or pm CRX Lee on here to verify.

 

the spring rates are the stock 96-00 spring rates, non customized according to him.

I believe the sp3's also carry a lifetime warranty.

The race valved units however do not.

Correct.

The "Neuspeed SP3" Koni 8041-Sport carries the same lifetime warranty as the standard 8041-Sport.

The Koni 8041-Race with the SPSS3 valving and shortened body does not.

There are several different dampers produced by Koni that come painted yellow, including the 8041 and the 3011. The one that most people refer to as the "Koni yellow" is the 8041-Sport.

As far as the warranty goes, AFAIK it only applies to the original purchaser as mentioned.
