i'm currently running Koni oranges (STR.T) with Tein H-techs which are a very mild upgrade spring. they'll feel like stock with a bit more control and have a lifetime warranty. i'm told they feel like a Koni yellow on full soft, and they don't involve cutting - direct replacement. i have almost 30k miles on mine and they groan sometimes in the cold but are otherwise holding up just fine.

Pros: more control, lifetime warranty, direct replacement, holding up fine
Cons: groan in cold
Vehicle: Honda Civic
Mileage: 30000 km

Definitely recommend the koni yellows. They’re adjustable but like mentioned before you have to cut the oem front strut to install them. They’re actually an insert but the rears are a simple drop in. Forgot to add they also come with a lifetime warranty as long as you keep the receipt. Had mine for 6 years and one of the drivers blew out and I sent it back and they replaced it free of charge just had to pay to ship it to them but return shipping was free.

Pros: adjustable, lifetime warranty, free replacement
Cons: requires cutting OEM strut, one blew out
Vehicle: Honda Civic

Bought some Koni Special Active s truts and shocks (hoping to get softer-than-stock ride on all the high-frequency cracks and potholes) and also looking to replace all the coil springs.

Pros: softer-than-stock ride
Vehicle: Volkswagen New Beetle

I had Koni adjustable yellows on mine. It was great. I could dial softer for better ride then stiffen it up for fun.

Pros: better ride, stiffen for fun
Vehicle: Honda

Koni FSD Reds. They self adjust for the road conditions. I’ve been running them in my Mazda for a year now, and I love them! Soft and pliable for regular driving, stiff for spirited driving.

Pros: soft, pliable, stiff
Vehicle: Mazda

I fitted my 2020 Jimny with Koni Heavy Track shock absorbers from OzJimny. This mod has substantially reduced body roll on corners, it's tighter onroad and less susceptible to wind on the highway.

Pros: reduced body roll, tighter onroad
Cons: not cheap
Vehicle: Suzuki Jimny

Installed used OEM AWD Tig springs/shocks Upgraded to Koni Yellow Tig shocks Installed SuperPro control arm bushings/brackets to bring alignment into spec and hopefully help with high speed steering vagueness

Pros: improved alignment, better steering
Cons: handling hit

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.

Pros: never an issue (Bilstein)
Cons: rusted out quickly (Koni)
