Quick question about koni yellows....
My uncle wants to pick up a set of koni yellows for his DA, he already has skunk2 slip over coilovers and wants to pair them with the koni's. I was told the sk2 coilovers will not sit right onto the koni's shock body? Also they will void koni's warranty? LMK guys thx

You can't use Skunk2 coilover sleeves with Koni dampers.
As a matter of fact, the only coilover sleeves you should ever use with Koni dampers are 1) the Ground Control Koni-specific sleeves, 2) the regular GC sleeves with the special GC Koni adapters, or 3) Koni's own coilover sleeves.
No other coilovers on the market have the groove machined into the bottom of the sleeve to correctly capture and rest on the Koni circlip.
And after seeing cases of Skunk2's poor quality sleeves flaring out at the bottom under normal use, I wouldn't want to risk it. Having the suspension collapse while driving would be rather dangerous.
