Default if you have Konis installed on your DC5, click here

Ive had Koni Yellows on my RSX for a month, and they are now leaking shock oil from the top of the front struts on the adjustment ****. I understand I am not the only person with an RSX to whom this has happened. Has anyone else had this problem?

yes I DO I DO!!! haha....another post about this huh?

i don't think a lot of people on this board with a DC5 goes the route of Koni sports because it's much "cooler" to have full coilovers... (yes, sarcastically speaking)

1 of my front struts is also leaking. I called Koni and this is what they told me to do.

You will need to fax them your receipt for the shocks, a copy of your car registration and a description of the problem. They will also need a credit card#, but will only charge the card if they don't receive the bad strut.

Koni Fax# 859-334-3340
attn: Warranty

=\ that might explain to some extent your lackluster showing at the most recent auto-x

I've never been fond of the koni setup simply b/c the stock struts weren't designed to accept a cartridge insert.

(btw, I'm the guy with the black EP who was chatting with you and russ)

has Koni sent out a replacement strut to you guys yet? i've been waiting over 3 weeks for the replacement to come in...it should be in pretty quick too cause my friend's shop ordered it for me under warranty...

i wonder why they're taking so long...late

Edit: Someone should have CRXlee look at this thread...maybe he can shed some light on the subject.
