well i just recently found out that koni makes aftermarket shocks for the tC..sorry im late . well i still like my trd's and im gonna keep them but i jus wanted to know if the koni's are better then the trd..if so, how? also, how much are the koni shocks?

 

i read somewhere that they can be adjustable but im not sure about this.

 

How would Tein S-Techs springs go with Koni shocks?

 

Last time I saw a Koni product for our car it was the cartridge insert not a full shock/strut replacement. I think you have to cut out the old part and weld in the insert. Something just seems fishy about that to me.

 

absolutely no welding...

The front is indeed an insert. Very simple to install. Take the stock front shock, cut 40mm down from the top and remove the insides. Drill a hole in the bottom, slip in the koni insert and bolt it in from the bottom using loc-tite. Install on car, adjust and love it.

They are adjustable as the model available for the tC is the Koni Sport. I highly recommend Koni struts. I have used them in the past and they are awesome. Oh and if anything ever goes wrong, Koni fully warranties their struts for the life of the vehicle to the original purchaser.

And no I don't sell for Koni, even though it sounds as though I do.

 

Thanks for correcting me man. My brother runs full coilovers on his civic and I agree with them being a sick ___ ride. He doesnt even have sway bars and that thing stays flat as a pancake.

 

^^^ bad ride? all depends on how stiff the shocks and springs are and blah blah. what brand does he have

are konis are better than TRD?!?!?!!

100% better hell ya. if you want to keep ur springs and jus want shocks. koni's are the way to go... although they are a little pricy

 

are the koni shocks good for a comfortable ride?
Thats what im lookin for right now?

 

^^

yes

 

^^


thanks!........................their a lil pricy tho!

 

well worth it.

 

yup, too expensive. u gotta buy front and rear shocks separate. average is about 600 +

 

might as well get coilovers

 

has kyb came out with a set of adjustables for the tc yet?

 

No, but its rumored that KYB makes the shocks for TRD.

 

dammit i want adjustable kybs though. i love their shocks!

 

No not a bad ride. It's a good ride. And it handles very well. I'm sorry if my original post didnt get that through.

if that is what you guys are talking about they seem cheap to me


but then again i dont know this companys history can any one post a link to where i can order these??

 

Best deal I heard was $525 for the set from Karo at Car Customs. But they are usually around $550 which is not much more than the dealer charges for the TRD struts. And Konis are much better than the TRD.

I know tirerack sells them aaron.

 

Koni yellows by far over the TRDs I'm waiting for Tokico to comeout with there struts...
