are the one's i have the same as a revalved koni. i have five perche to choose from on mine. also i'm ready now to order the ground controls. so i have heard that i specifically have to have them send the kit for the koni's right. 400fronts and 500 rear what do you guys think or 450 rears. it's an autocross every weekend car mostly.

 

well, this has been covered before - search will yeild some more info.

they are valved identical to the 'regular' konis. The only difference is a 20mm shorter piston rod and the 5 perches (instead of 3).

You do not need to send your shocks to GC. Just buy regular koni sleeves.

I'm not sure where you "heard" your info from, but stop listening to them

 

with the 20mm shorter piston rod. that would mean i can slam the car a lil lower than regular koni's. what i'm trying to say did i just wasted my money on neuspeed knoi's or are they a lil better then the ots yellows

I really cant see any useful difference between the two. But then again i dont 'slam' my car

The 20mm shorter piston rod (rebound stop actually) means that your shortened aftermarket springs won't fall out if the upper perches when the car is jacked up. Once the car is on the ground, there is no functional difference in the stroke so the car cannot be lowered any more than with normal KONI Sports. The valving is exactly the same as the OTS KONI Sports. You didn't waste your money as the Neuspeed SP3s cost the same as the KONI Sports and you got a damned good damper, the best and most technical adjustable street damper that you'll find at the price or somewhat higher as well.

 

thanks lee for clearing it up for me. i was hoping i didn't choose a bad shock. thanks

 

In regards to the GC sleeves, you are correct. You want to order their Koni specific sleeve. It is designed to 'capture' the circlip on the Koni shock. You won't be using the lower spring seat that came with the shocks. You will be using the circlip that the seat sits on.

 

FYI- don't slam your car. If you start doing suspension geometry measurements you will find after a certian drop you start to have problems.
