I got my Koni STR.T (Orange) shocks. I haven't had the chance to install them yet.

 

Nice, didn't knew that Koni made Oranges lol. Are these adjustable?

 

These are not adjustable.

 

how bout some tech?
or can we just buy parts and post pics of em.

honestly i could go look under my car if i want to see koni's.

 

I only posted because these haven't been out that long and I haven't talked to anyone else who actually had a set.

Since I haven't had the chance to try them, I can't say how they perform.

 

tried em on yet?

 

i clicked on here because i thought someone had actually tried them and was writing up a review for them. really didnt want to just look at pictures. ive seen pictures of them before. not impressed.

 

I got them installed along with a set of Eibach Pro Kit springs.

They are a little stiffer than stock on the compression side.

On the rebound side they are significantly stiffer than stock.

They provide way more control without that much added harshness.

 

So how are these compared to the Reds? Are they a replacement for those?

Just wondering where a non adjustable shock that looks like an OEM replacement fits into their lineup when they seemed to have one already...

EDIT: Nice box though

 

I heard from an unreliable source that the Reds are being discontinued and these are the replacements.

I also liked the new boxes.

 

hey i put those on my integra 3 months ago, there cheap and work very well

Oh.

 

so what you are telling us is, You got the new oranges/ old reds? sweet!

 

how much did they run u

 

I think they were 75 dollars each.

I had a tough time finding a place that had them in stock.

The Tire Rack was out of them.

So I called Koni and they recommended a place called Custom Spares that had them in stock and had awesome prices.

 

I picked these up and installed them on a daily driver. I had issues at first with some squeaking and clunking noise in the rear. I replaced all three shock tower bushings and metal collar and still had issues. It turned out to be the OE metal/rubber dust boots that were binding on the shock body. I removed them on the rear and all is well. I'm looking for a larger diameter rubber to keep dirt out. OP were you able to utilize the dust boots with out problems? Im starting to think my OE dust boots were warped.

I have them installed with H&R Race springs and so far so good. (not sure how long the shocks will hold up)

Oh 75 bucks is a bit over what I paid. Shox.com had the set at $260/ free shipping for a few weeks. They now sell them at 308/ free shipping .

 

how do these perform compared to oem shocks, and how is the ride quality?

 

If you weren't impressed then why did you take the time to write that in a post? No one on here cares if your not impressed about his thread.

 

is there any dyno graphs of the shocks?

 

he could say what ever he want u homo

 

 

I actually decided to run them without any boots on them.

 

I don't have quality/useful feedback on this since my OEM shocks were blown and I replaced the springs at the same time. FWIW the shocks are dampening the H&Rs better then I anticipated. Though I am expecting a shorter life on these shocks with the spring I used. Ill update after I have run them longer.

 

anyone else using these, i was wondering how they would work with skunk 2 springs ,i just want a less bouncy ride if they will do that i will get them, any info is appreciated
