yes i did...took me 1.5 hours tho.



80 bucks for 4 konis....not bad for a full price day at the junkyard.


i also found a passanger side window visor, another se-i so i took out the cupholders and the foglight switch...the fog lights were busted but the brackets looked good...so if any one wants them...talk to me before they are gone.

also saw a full brown armrest

well you have new front konis.... i just have all 4 of them. im seriously thinking of getting them done to my specs. another 800 bucks down the hole. but for the best suspension for our cars.

he does? i thought he had neuspeed on the lxi and sportlines on the dx

he should put the sportlines with the konis imo but that means musical shocks for 2 cars lol

Um, why would sprints blow up Tockico's? They are soft as hell! I've been running them on FACTORY struts since I took off my Dropzone coilovers last year and no ill effects. They even ride damn good with zero pogo effect! Then again, maybe my car is a factory reject cause at a 2.5 drop, i have no camber issues either. She was meant to be low I guess....

well they were too low for my taste also...i went to put them in but they were still lose even with the top hats all the way down. so i took them out and put on my stock springs and later some Neuspeeds popped up and i grabbed them. i like my quality ride now.

MessyHonda
09-20-2007, 01:16 PM
well i cleaned them up today...and its right one of the rear ones is leaking so im going to have to get them rebuilt...its werid because they are on stock springs. external adjustments here i come.

AndrewSi
09-20-2007, 02:27 PM
how much is the rebuild going to cost?

AccordB20A
09-20-2007, 02:29 PM
so they are currently not externally adjustable? still thats a good steal for $80. my konis costed me $375NZD but hell it was worth it, mine are yellows tho with king springs.

but i guess your still luckyer than me

baah, soon I'll have 2 full set of konis :D Been riding the konis on my sedan for prob 4 years now and they've been great! Congrats on the extremely lucky find! doesnt get cheaper than that.

Looks like those are without adjustable rear spring perches.

good job lucky!

sadly I have 5 konis, 2 are on the car, and 3 are blown.
Oh well, I think I will try to be the 1st member of the EF/EK koni yellow and ground controls club.

Yeah Messy Jesse, your lucky to find them at the bone yard. I need a rear set to complete my Koni action. Hopefully they aren't blown. How was that lower bolt on the forks?

Thank you Derek. out here in California things dont rust...so most of the bolts were easy and i only have a regular 6 inch ratchet...i had to use a tube as a breaker bar for those and the rear lower bolt. its a craftsman so if it brakes i can get a new one

I can understand about the ride height. The car is damn low with these springs. Anyone want to trade springs?
