Iv looked on google iv searched around can't find a straight picture that i can be 100 on.. I'm looking to get a set of 98 itr springs and i wanna get the koni yellows.. I just wanna make sure its the ride height i want so if you can post pics of your itr with koni yellows and where you have the perch set at if appreciate at alot thanks

 

Nobodys using itr stock springs with koni yellows?

Ummm....stock ITR = what your car will look like. There are thousand of pics of stock ITRs. Google it.

 

Some of the responses i get are pretty funny.. I'm not wondering what it'll look like only with itr springs koni trellis have adjustable spring perch I'm wich you can lower the cars ride height.. Had you read the first post you would have known what I was really asking for

 

it should have same ground clearance with stock itr suspension i think..
shocks won't change the height

 

The koni yellows have adjustable spring perches wich lower the height of the car

 

It seems you can only lower the height for the front only based on the pics I have seen.

 

I'm pretty sure the rear can be lowered.. I have the yellows on the rear of my integra however i haven't looked to see if they are adjustable

 

With Koni Sports (yellows) you can do the following:

Front - stock, or lowered
Rear - raised, stock or lowered

I have these on my Civic. They are great shocks. I wanted my car really low so I went with Ground Control Sleeves on top of them. GC top hats in the front added a little more compression travel for better ride quality as well:









Yes I stripped the yellow paint, wire brushed and clear coated them.

This picture shows how the rears have 3 different snap ring locations for the spring perch...



...And two for the front:

 

Haha, awesome

 

Yeah, so imagine a stock ITR, only .3 -.4" lower. Pics aren't really going to show that.

And if you're doing this for handling purposes, then who really gives a damn about what it "looks" like. OEM ITR springs + Koni yellows (on the bottom perch) aren't going to give you a really lowered look. If that's what you're after, you're going to be dissapointed.

Next time, be a bit more specific. Or, just use your imagination.

 

IDK, it lowers the car pretty significantly. IIRC, the perch is 1'' lower, but the spring is less compressed, so it lowers it pretty well. I have my GF's EM1 on Koni Yellows on the low perch with stock springs. You can def. tell it's lowered. I think I'm putting my stock ITR springs on it at the stock ride height position in a few months.

I just have to track my ITR first with just tires/brakes to get a good base line for stock ITR performance. Then I'm finna mod.

A lot of people say the Koni yellows for ITRs don't have a height adjustment. But mine do. I think they might be the older model? IDK. I got them from K-teller for like $185 shipped for the pair on clearance. They told me they were getting rid of their old inventory.

BTW, a 2 second google image search gave me this:

OEM ITR springs lower the EM1 more than they lower a non-R integra. With the Konis on the low perch, this would be more pronounced.


They are the older model. They paid like $15 per shock for those. I was buying and selling them for a while until they found out the source and bought up the remaining lot of them. At least I was able to get all of the remaining SPSS valved versions.

 

Here's mines when i had them.

 

theyre good shocks. gonna buy the GC coil overs + top hats in a month or so..

The EM1 is on stock EM1 springs. Not stock ITR springs. They drop the spring perch by about 1''...but on any car, I think that the actual lowering is a little more than 1'' since you're de-compressing the springs as you drop the perch.

 

It lowers it more because the shock is connected to9 the LCA further in towards the chassis than the wheel. I think its called whee rate. For any amount of wheel travel, th.e shock only moves a percentage. Something like 80%. That means if you lower the spring perch 1 inch, it will lower car by 1.2 inches (or something like that).

 

I don't know about you guys, but I thought the valving on the Konis were slightly too much for the ITR springs.

 

I don't think so. You can change the damping. IIRC, the part numbers for the front are the same as regular integras. The part number for the rear is the same as the 88 CRX. 250LB springs should mean somewhere in the middle of the damping.

 

Yep, that too. The motion ratio.

 

Damping and spring rate are not as closely related as you might think. One driver may prefer an overdamped setup, while another may want underdamped. It's all up to the driver. Either way, the kit would be fine with stock springs (it's made for them).

 

From a comfort standpoint, at full soft (keeping in mind these are rebound adjustable only), I felt the compression is significantly higher than the stock ITR shock.

I used this setup at one point because I had to daily the car.

 

Assuming you have an itr how was it.. The ride and height

 

Here's what I'm trying to get at i really don't care brand for brand whats on my car (for the most part) i have gc coil over sleeves in the front with kyb agx and eibach sportline (springs only not adjustable) with the koni yellows my concern is that the ride is way to harsh I adjusted the shocks and it softened up just alittle.. I don't want to spend too much but i want a better ride.

Iv always known gc for being stiff but how stuff really are they I wasn't to spend as least as i can n get a good ride quality.. What my plan is to raise the koni in the rear sence it already has lowering springs and adjust the front to match now when that's done (hopefully) the ride quality will have improved if not what can I do.. Will the gc "top hats" help with the ride quality? Or would I be looking at a different suspension set up all together?
