kinda of a noob question....how long will koni yellows last when drop about 3" on ground controls coils with oem suspension parts for a Daily driver with some bumps and minor holes. for a 95 integra

 

SEARCH MAN... Koni shocks are the best shocks you can buy for integra's w/o getting in full coilover set ups, so wtf do you think?

yea so he didnt use the search button... but no need for bad attitude...

for the OP, ive heard of them lasting 4-5 years

 

sorry i did search but i couldnt find what i was looking for..but i heard that lowering ur car too much will shorten ur shocks life. that why i ask about konis to see if its true no need to flame

 

Koni Yellows are actually meant to work at low ride heights like that, so they should last for a long time. If you picked up some Tokico Blues, for example, you'd blow them in a couple weeks if you went that low.

 

ive had my koni yellow dropped 3 inch a a month after it was bought at the dealership new...its a 2000...I am just starting to notice the ride quality to be a bit bumpier...have 93k miles on the shocks...so roughly 7 years and just now starting to go out....depends how much you drive and how much tear u struts go through on a daily basis.

 

correct me if i am wrong but i thought koni yellows had a lifetime warranty...

 

some of it depends on what kind of roads you drive on also. but if you going to drop it that low, might as well get them to custom it a little and get the shorter travel shocks instead of the standard.

They do (for the original purchaser). So do most aftermarket performance shocks - Bilstein, Tokico, etc. Save those receipts!

This is true. A lot of people cite this as the reason to purchase the more expensive Koni Yellows as opposed to Tokico Illuminas...but Illuminas have a lifetime warranty as well

 

thanks guys just what i wanted to hear
