need help on koni - Honda Prelude Forum

viperguy1 · 06-27-2002, 08:07 PM

I'v got some kyb gr2 on my prelude and after 6 months they started to wear out. My car is lower about 2 inchs. I believe kyb is only recommend to about 1 - 1.3 inchs drop. Those of you with koni yellow, are koni made to handle drop that are lower to about 2 - 2.5 drop. If i drop it about 2 -2.5, will the koni wear out quickly like the kyb, or will it handle the drop for a long period of time. I believe the koni are life time gaurantee. Are the shock any good for handling (worth the $$$).

Well, Neuspeed makes a package of their Race Springs (good for around 2" drop) with their own custom Koni adjustable shocks, they have a few more perches for flexibility. If they couldn't hack the springs, I doubt they'd bundle them.

Are you talking about their coilover because i think their coilover cost over a thousand dallors and that's way too much for me. Thanks for the info though.

No, not their coilover suspension, they have a package of the Koni yellow adjustable shocks with their Race springs, I think they do it with their Sport springs as well.

So like you said, their shock should be able to handle it if they sell them that way! Cool! Thanks
