Noah,

THe Koni Specials (red) are the ones that we have. The Sports(yellow) are not made for our application.

The price sounds about right.

Where are you getting them from, Those prices sound pretty good. Are those prices for a set or each or pair??

Peace out!!

I got mine from TireRack because Shox.com was giving me a higher price than quoted to others. I paid somewhere around $106 i think. The main difference is that the yellows are externally adjustable which is great because the reds if im correct have to come out to be adjusted. The rod has to be fully depressed to turn the valve to adjust them.

Ok guys I hope that we are clear on the fact that you cannot get Koni Sports (yellow) for our cars. And I can tell you that they have never ever made them in the past for our cars. And that fact comes directly from mouth of one of Koni's best techs, Gordon.
And you cannot use Koni Sports ment for the 4th gen accord and that comes not only from discussions with koni, but with the folks at Bilstein as well. You also can't get Tokico Illumina's or Kyb AGX struts.

I have KONI Specials... It's red, not yellow.
Suspension BOSCH tech test show this effectivity by 85%, but on road - it's very good with good tires - your car will be have excellent steering

P.S. Sorry for bad english. :-(

thanks everyone i plan on dropping my car 1.5" not any lower because of alaska weather. i am gonna go with the koni specials i dont remember where i saw koni sports for our cars i just typed in koni in yahoo and it came up with all kinds of sites for them. who on here has the 1.5" H&R (is that correct?) springs i was gonna get those if they are of good quality ?

**Jims 86LXI HB** · 06-12-2002, 09:31 PM

I have the H&R's with koni speacials. Very nice combo. Their are stiffer 1.5" drop springs then the H&R's but unless you push your car to the limits all the time, you won't need stiffer, the H&R's are excellent.

Koni Special include 3 this stickers!
But! I send mail to KONI about logo in vector graphics to make custmo stickers. They answer me, what they can't do it, because KONI is registered trade mark etc. but they can send me full stickers kit with new exclusive Honda F-1 Team KONI sticker!! And after 2 months - i found letter from KONI! Now on my car - exlusive sticker! :super:
