Reviews of KONI shock absorbers

Ive been impressed with Koni 80 shocks and dobinsons springs..

No frills, good ride, reliably does what it is supposed to.

I'm running the adjustable koni yellows on mine with the eibach lowering springs (1in drop in front, 1.25 in the rear I believe).

I went with Koni yellow adjustables front and rear.

When I lowered my Integra over 20 years ago, I knew I wanted quality stuff that would hold up, i.e. not lowering springs on stock shocks. I saved up and went with Koni Sport yellow adjustable shocks along with H&R Sport springs. Those shocks lasted me nearly 20 years and over 250k miles until I just replaced them with another set a couple years ago.

If it's your daily and you're looking to spend under $1k you'll want lowering springs and shocks, something like h&r sports with Koni str/orange or sport/yellows. That'll give you a good drop with a compliant ride for the street.

So first thing I ordered was a set of Koni sport shocks and struts. These were on sale for BF at $612 at Koni online store. When I drove the car home after it was unloaded I was glad I already had the shocks and struts as the steering was super light and twitchy, car did not know where it was going. After install the car was transformed, the Konis tightened up the steering and feel, car stays flat in the curves and feels more like a Porsche.

My independent shop installed Koni and they work well and adjust to the road conditions.

I had Koni yellow with stock springs. Maybe a little better than the stock shocks but started leaking after a few years. Didn’t want to screw around with sending them back to Koni and waiting for their warranty.

I've been using the Koni Golds (FSD) for many thousands of miles. They are really really good at 80mph, but in town they shake my teeth loose and bump and klunk like crazy.

I've been thru multiple sets of the Oranges and the current set have around 20k on the rear and 45k on the front. The rebound damping has always been sub par on these IMO.
