tell me more. i'm slightly interested.

[fogged]

Holy shit batman. I want a pair. $875 now I know what to ask the wife for christmas!

[frantik]

875 for all 4? cheaper than d2 coilovers still (though doesnt have the springs).. and waaaay cheaper than revalved konis (if u can even find them)

[snoopyloopy]

i'll take a set in a few months...

[labeledsk8r]

875 for all 4 is tempting.

on a side note hows the contacting KYB USA going?? anoy luck threw them? mayby they will be lower

[RobT5580]

I would try getting them through KYB USA because you certainly pay a premium going through a vendor in Japan. I can try my vendor when i get my computer back up and running.

yeah last time i called koni they told me that it would be 110 per shock for a stock rebuild...not even shortening or external adjustment.

[mkymonkey]

hmm...im glad i came back. i need new shocks....is this still going down?

[knarg]

im getting my koni's rebuilt by the end of december

I have got similar estimate from KONI uk a few years back.

-Extra groove £50(approx US$100) + tax + carriage for set of 4
-Exrternal adjustable £300(approx $600) + tax + carriage for set of 4

When they do modification, not groove, rebuild is included anyway.

[MessyHonda]

im thinking of just shortening because that is not adjustable. plus its always nice to have extra suspension travel even when you are lowered.

[knarg]

i thought it would be around 200 a corner for external adjust and shortening

modding accord specials to become sports. it will run me about $1200 minimum

[mkymonkey]

so how do i order some? i need new struts...so i might as well replace all of them and this seems like a good choice....sooo anyone know how to order? if i could read Japanese i wouldnt ask. lol

He is a translator, too bad we don't have a keypad to cross them words over to English. (cause it looks like chicken scratch to me)

[fogged]

[mkymonkey]

yeah we need to find out how to order these.

Bump Damnit! I Need To Know How To Order These

[snoopyloopy]

try wprocomp's supplier?

[epic1400cs]

I have heard an info that KYB Japan has stopped producing this adjustable shocks for our car.
When current stock runs out, thats it so if you are interested in, you guys should order them asap.
I don't know if this applies to non adjustables, though.

[wprocomp]

I can try to order some but whos gonna really be serious about paying me,I like helping the board out with parts when I can but when it comes time to actually buy the stuff nobody wants to pay-I mean did you guys even know RS*R made springs for our cars?prob not-I have a set they are really nice and give about 1.7/1.9 inch worth of drop-I would love to hook you guys up with these too maybe even get a group buy going-but I know once I bust out the price everyones gonna dissapear-not trying to be a dick about things but I need enough people willing to pay for this stuff if I am going to help you guys out

[mkymonkey]

add me to your list whenever it is you are going to get the shocks. about the springs...well im not sure i was going to put some ground control coilovers on them. unless you think these would be better.

and im true to my word. If i say add me on...please do. if no one else wants in on it...and you can get a set just for me that would be great...even if i have to pay a LITTLE (notice the emphasis on little lol) extra its no big deal.

thanks for doing this...or at least attempting

[epic1400cs]

I mean did you guys even know RS*R made springs for our cars?
