I tried going from CG to stock springs on my Konis, but I noticed the shock travel is alot shorter than my stock strut. I never had a new set of Koni's. I'm at the least the 3rd owner of the set I have. I cannot raise the car up at all because the shock is fully extended. I looked at he part number on the side and it was 8041-1152. I know you can have them revalved or shortened but would there be any designation on it?

I thought the sports could be used as stock replacements, do the 8041s come in stock length? Do I have some modded Konis?

 

8041-1152 "race" are indeed shortened. 25mm in the front and 15mm in the rear.

you might want to PM user 'vtecvoodoo' (ryan)

he is very close to Lee Grimes/Koni due to his position at Eibach so he might be able to assist.

 

I just got my new full set of Koni Sports yesterday from T H Motorsports. Only took 48 hours to arrive from my phonecall order (thumbs up).

Anyways, my old Konis in front say 8041-1152 SP3 and are definitely shorter than my new set and stock set.

I thought the race version was something like SSP3 or something else?

 

That just refers to the type of valving Koni did in the shock. A few years ago I had Koni race yellows with that valving and I absolutely hated it. No matter what I tried I could never get the balace right on the car.
GL.

 

So do I really have the race version?

 

if they are shorter i'd bet on it.

 

It's possible. The sport yellows and race versions have the same skew # on Koni's site. It says the way to tell is if it is shortened or not. Unless they are the 2800 series.

Oh yeah, FYI these have 4-5 grooves for the circlip as opposed to the 2 on my new set. I took a pic but I've been on this site only via iPhone and work. I just moved and don't have Internet yet
