A heads up for your type R guys..

I just saw these on ebay (they are not mine)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...99112

$132 shipped seems like a damn good deal for new koni's

 

thanks for the heads up..

too bad they're internally adjustable.. PITA.. lol..

 

I can't seem to give mine away. Got a new set in my garage (for years now) and no one seems to want them. $100 for the pair and there still doesn't seem to be any interest.

 

are your shocks for the front or rears? new??thanks, i might be interested

 

Hey, I know who's selling those


BTW--I have a set of Konis that might really interest someone. 8040-1078 SP "SS". Brand new in box. I have a set of used ones but I happened to find a set of brand new ones and they just arrived today. Very, very rare. The SS means "Showroom Stock" valving straight from Koni, so they are extremely stiff. In speaking with Lee @ Koni (if I may quote him), he said that they should handle springrates around 800-900 lbs without needing revalving.

I was gonna keep them and use them on one of my cars, but being jobless at this point in time, I might just sell them.

I'm sure these would work great on a DS Type R or even one that was lowered on some stiff springs. Oh, the SS also has a shorter piston rod than the normal Koni to prevent spring droop.

 

rears

 

I have rear lower contol arms if anyone wants these shocks and needs type R control arms

are j00 talking to me? Also, are they externally adjustable?

 

DS = D stock (SoloII), unless that's your give name

They are not externally adjustable, just internally. Koni ever made an externally adjustable ITR/88 Civic application, unless they just brought one out to market.

just giving you a hard time Todd

Sure they made externally adjustables...just not in the US. they only started importing them recently.

ask me how I know



They are however hard to source, and a bit more expensive. tirerack is the only place I found that carries them.
