So the rear struts on my car are Koni reds and they have the valving and all just like the yellows. What is the difference ohter than diameter? I am able to get yellow or reds from a source but I don't have the coilovers for the yellows. I they are the same perfomance wise I can just get the reds and use what I have, If not I will need to find some coilovers for the yellows at a sweet price.... like trade (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Your going to have to do your homework on shock valving curves.
Basically you want very stiff slow speed valving in both compression and rebound. But lesser valving in the high speed side. In my opinion off the shelf Koni sports won't adequately dampen much over a 150 rear spring. Torsion bars are a whole different story . I have pretty good grip with the front wheels so I must have tripped over a good shock. |
