Default SHOULD I BUY USED KONI'S?

THEY ARE NON-ADJUSTABLE RED KONIS ON EIBACH LOWERING SPRINGS. THEY CAME OFF AN 2001 INTEGRA GSR, AND GOING INTO MY 95 EG HATCH. THEYRE GOING FOR 300 THE WHOLE KIT. DEAL OR NO DEAL?

QUESTION: THE KONI WARRANTY ONLY WORKS FOR THE ORIGINAL BUYER OR NOT?

DO THE INTEGRA SPRINGS SHOCKS FIT THE EG RIGHT UP? IM SWAPPING THE WHOLE THING IN.

KONI SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE NON ADJUSTABLE SHOCKS BEING TAYLORED FOR EACH CAR. WOULD THE INTEGRA AND CIVIC ONES BE DIFF OR THE SAME.

SO, DEAL OR NO DEAL?

if you can get reds and eibachs for this price i'd grab em. i thought the reds were adjustable. am i wrong? i haven't seen honda reds before but i could have sworn they had ***** on other makes. i know the oranges are non adjust but i thought reds were

is this what you're talking about more or less? if so, it's adjustable

Yes that is what he is talking about. They are Koni Red. Also known as the Koni Special. They are non adjustable on the Integra model but are adjustable for other cars. They say adjustable on the shock tube, but they are not. Retail, these shocks sell for $432 new plus the eibach's sell for $225 new. So $657 brand new and that's going by ebay prices.

If I didn't know the seller then I wouldn't, unless I picked it up for $150 and didn't care.
