Shock absorbers KONI or OEM Toyota

Amazing shocks! Spent the weekend putting them on. Mines a 96. 114k miles the original shocks were not completely dead but almost no rebound. Cant wait to take them on the HWY. Smooth on the street and firm in the twisties!

Koni yellow. They’re adjustable and can be extremely stiff or nice and soft, and you get to decide what they feel like. They can be dialed up for a track day or put back down to soft for bad roads. I absolutely love them.

I almost went with KYB but got Koni Active instead and holy crap am I glad I did. For WI roads I wouldn’t buy anything else ever again.

I’ve had Dobinson,bilsteins and now OME and I suggest Toyota OEM. That’ll be your best ride quality on the road by far.

Little update: since car is ca car with 72k miles and garaged whole it\u2019s life, i think it wasnt too bad. I replaced the boot and re-greased outer. Drives just fine, no noises or anything.

I heard the same about the B8 so I bought the Koni Special active with Eibach pro kit lowering 3cm.

I can say I am absolutely satisfied. The car is a real train at the curves without being stiff.

I would suggest at least better shock absorbers (the emu ones are good but I've heard that the Koni adjustable shocks are a lot better especially for the body roll)

Mine on my Corrado VR6 are set right in the middle and are as smooth riding as any car. It also corners better than any car I have owned.

I\u2019ve had the Koni Special Active shocks & struts for 2 months now. They\u2019re OK. They do ride very comfortably, you do feel every bump, they do stiffen, a bit, when the occasion calls for it. Definitely an upgrade over the OEM struts and shocks on my 2015 VW CC R-Line had but I definitely wish they were a bit stiffer overall.

Those Koni's rusted out quickly on an old integra I had. Seemed cheap out of the box. Have had several Bilstein setups. Never an issue.
