Hey guys,

what do yall think of the Koni 1150 coilovers for a 98 teg?? are they a good buy?? any one have any pics or comments???

Mike

 

I just installed 1150's on a del sol. They ride really nice on the highway and I have the shocks set at minumum, but tweak em the other end of the settings and they are good for racing. The ride is superb, almosts stock. I replaced a set of crappy DropZone's which are only good for track use as they are so hard.
Pictures of the konis tommorow.
BTW, koni pissed me off big time, they send them in a box that's not well enough packed, just cardboard section in between them, they arrived scratched and dented and also there are no spanner wrenches supplied either. Fot over a grand I at least expected a wrench.

 

Here yah go, 1150's on a Del Sol.
These are set high for 1-1/2" lift for the 15" wheels and 205/60 tires.





This is the garbage dropZones I bought first, ran em 100 miles, that was enough, perfect for racing or drifting, but not very comfortable on the highway. They are for sale in Raleigh/apex NC for 1/2 what I paid for em, pick up only, I'm not shipping these at this price. $125.00 CASH ONLY. Come and get em. Set for 1-1/2" lift at the moment, so you can get up to 3-1/2" drop on a del Sol or Civic. Be warned, these are hard shocks/springs. But they work well and keep the car stable under extreme acceleration and cornering. If that's what you need, these are for you.

very nice, do you have a picture of your car ?? and they ride like stock ?? do you think it was worth the money ?? i to have some cheap *** dropzone coilovers and shocks that i havent put on yet due to laziness..lol

 

I started out all stock but the 15" wheels rubbed and I needed to jack up the suspension 1-1/2" or more, so not liking spacers I went for the crappy DropZone, which did the job as they allow 2" up or 3" down. looked cool, but rides like a skateboard. Great for racing or drifting, but lousey on the highway. Trust me, they are on my garage floor now for sale, bad buy. The konis are much much better and are ajustable shocks too, but they are expensive for what you get, or don't get, they have no spanner wrench to ajust them and don't come with front brake line brackets either but do have top rubbers and nuts only. You'll need to cut the bump stops an inch or so also if you are lowering.
All in all, they are worth the money, ride is superb, allmost stock but tighter, smooth and don't jar your teeth fillings like the crappy DropZones did. I'll post a photo of the car with the 15" wheels/tires in a sec.
