Hello All,
I am thinking about getting a pair of KONI Sport Alternative for the rear of my car with a set of 220 lb springs. This car will be use primarily for recreation on the weekends (no racing). I am not sure what is in the front but the rears need to be replaced. Currently I have KONI Special D' with what I believe to be the stock springs. Can anyone comment on the Sport Alternatives with the 220 lbs springs and or make other recommendations. Thanks, Dan |

220 is pretty stiff. I would recommend 150#'s for recreational driving. Remember, what you change in the rear will directly influence what you need to do in the front. If you have stock front suspension, and you put 220#'s in the rear it is going to be very tail happy. I would get an adjustable front sway bar, like the one from tarett, and get 150# rear springs. That will provide a sporty handling car without the jaw ratteling stiffness that 220 will give.
If you are refering to the Koni "yellows", they are a great shock. |
