New Koni GTS Coilovers

[ruturaj001]

I installed these on weekend. Scheduled alignment for Monday. Will be doing track day next month. If anyone is at Ridge motorsports Shelton WA then and wants to try my car, feel free to message me.

Just an update, I got alignment done, I used the 16mm camber bolt with the coilovers to get more negative camber in front. I followed the specs to get 25mm drop but ended up at about 37mm drop in front (pinch weld at 112mm and 118mm in front) so I dropped rear pinch welds to 122mm.

Just in case anyone read this and is looking for more info.

I was able to get -2.8 and -3.0 camber without bolts. This will give you an general idea of camber. You might get +-0.5 degrees.

The ride height dropped more than what's in manual, by about 0.5 inch. Ride height is tied to preload and I started to run in to not enough droop if I raised the height. I decided to get spacers to lift the car.

The adjusters can get stuck, the plastic knob bends, I bought multiple metal adjusters and spent over $100. I couldn't get rear one to break loose due to spacers I was using. The adjusters lacks clicks as well.

I have seen complains about other hardware but it is easily replaceable. Koni has lifetime warranty and overall performance was pretty good. I ended up selling them.

Did Koni shocks ever have clicks? I had a set of Koni Yellow paired with Ground Control springs on a 94 Accord many years ago. It was a pretty reliable and a go to set up for Honda tuners(along with Tein SS). I switched from a set of K-Sport (trash)full coilovers,and the lack of clicks in the dampers of Koni Yellows was the very first thing I noticed.

I did Ground Control coils and Koni yellows on my 92 Integra a thousand years ago and mine did not have clicks either.

I don't think they ever did. I just wanted to mention it as it makes it little hard to experiment on track day.

Tbqh,I always found it kinda weird that they didn't have clicks,but then they can't claim "infinite adjustability". That marketing gimmick aside,they were a great set of shocks with,at the time,one of the only performance shocks with a lifetime warranty. If a shock blew,you could send them in and get them re-valved for absolutely zero dollars.They supposedly also had great customer service as well.
