Default koni shox

well here's the story...

3 month ago I ordered some koni yellos from a store...they had the front ones so I payed for those right away, than they ordered the rear (took them 3 month) anyways 3 motnh later I get a call and I go in and they got me the front ones too (by accident instead of the rear)...ok no problem so I got a refund instead of having to wait another 3 month and went to another shop that I knew had some in stock and picked up the rear ones

anyways I bough the rear ones for my civic and now I noticed and it dawned on me that the rear is the neuspeed edition and the fronts are the sport ones...

is this gonna matter? I DONT plan on moving the perches around, they are sittin on co's so I can adjust ride height that way...

anyone know if that will matter at all?

Thanks

No idea. I'd call Koni *and* Neuspeed directly and see what the differences are.

The Neuspeed dampers should be valved for marginally higher rate springs and the body should be slightly shorter then Sports. Will it cause a problem, no.

I am no expert but I would think as long as each damper matches front to front and rear to rear you should be fine.

they're 20mm shorter and have five perch settings rather than three, but i'm not sure about the higher spring rate capability.

Neuspeed "Race" springs for most Honda's/Acura's are in the range of 500lbs so I assume they should be valved to dampen these spring rates which OTS Sport Koni's can only just handle. Best bet is to check with Neuspeed.
