Default Koni questions...yes I've searched...

I recently picked up a set of used koni yellow shocks And they have a koni coilover setup. The springs are red and has Koni stamped. Now I was wondering if anyone knew spring rates for these? Also how do they compare to the ground controls?

Last but not least, this setup will see some cornering, but alot more drag racing. What settings do you guys recommend? Full interior dc2 Integra w/ 230-250whp NA B Series in the works.

Do the springs have numbers on them? If so, post them.

These would be the older version of Koni's 1150 coilovers, 'older' only in appearance, new versions are just as much Yellows but grey painted and threaded.

Rates probably are around 250/180, maybe a bit higher, could be linear (they look it), could be progressive. GCs typically are linear and start around 380/250.

What settings do you mean? Drag and cornering require eg rather different springrates. For drag in the rear you could easily mount a 1000, which would not be ideal for cornering ;-)

Here is a picture of the whole shock/coilover setup. Anyone have any idea what the specs are?

Since these springs aren't available separately they aren't to be found in the catalogue so nothing can be specified.

You cound contact Koni. However I think I won't be far from the truth with my post supra.
