Hi mates,

Who's got Koni dampers outhere?
I've got Koni sport dampers (yellows) and Eibach Pro-Kit springs.
The handling is very good but the ride quality is awful!
Where can I buy the springs that came with koni sport dampers separately?
Is it a third party that produces the sprins to Koni?
Does anyone has the Sportkit from Koni? And what about the ride quality? Is it good?

Cheers

are apex better mate. i have pi -60mm springs at the moment. ride is not too bad it just rattles and bangs at the rear over harsh bumps and with being on standard dampers my shocks are going to wear pretty quick. will uprated dampers stop the rattling and banging or does that go with lowering a car

i dont think the apex are much uprated from standard ones to be honest, just seem to have shorter pistons.

£190 quid for 4 koni's.

Well that price is the best i have ever seen. I dont think anyone will beat that.

it depends where u order them from. Springs that i supply are ROC. An average spring.

Apex are no comparison to koni. Apex are only uprated by 15% but they are shortened.
