Default Anyone in Ca with Koni's?

I'm in San Luis Obispo right now going to school, but drive back home to Modesto all the time. If there's anyone with Koni shocks close to either of those (or in between), that wouldn't mind showing me how they drive, I'd appreciate it.

Reason is, I would have about enough money to get some once I get my tax returns back, and I have a whole list of things I want to buy haha. I'm just thinking that seeing how they handle and ride will make my decision more definitive. I'd offer a six pack for taking your time to do so, but being only 19 makes that a little tough haha.

Also interested in hearing some people with true duals, cats or no cats, dumped or out the back, doesn't matter. I've listened to them online, but I know hearing them in person is going to sound different.

-Thanks, Brandon.

I'm right here in Madera, I just finished up putting Koni SA's up front with new Hypercoil 625 springs. The only thing stock on my suspension is the front upper A-arms.

Burbanks a bit of a drive, I'll definitely keep keep ya in mind though. Once I start getting my performance parts I plan on taking it to CMS for teh tune. Maybe I'll do that sometime in the spring when there's a big meetup going on so I can meet all you so cal guys.

99Bluz28- I'll be making the drive home in a few weeks for spring break. Are you running the Koni's all around?

hey ive got them too. i have the 4/4.

OP not sure if you know 4/3 means the fbody gen they are for (4th gen front, 3rd gen rear) because the 3rd gen rears work on 4th gen, but arent adjustable from inside the car like the 4th gen ones are.

sick02ss & 99bluz28: Next time I come home I'll send ya a pm (if I rememeber lol)

6LE: I am really tempted to come down. Maybe if I can talk some friends into coming with me I might. I have work tomorrow morning though, but I still may come, it's just up in the air haha. Your seats are on my long list of parts too lol. I have a feeling my pocket book would be a little lighter after getting to see how all the things I'm thinking about buying perform, sound and feel.

Just get the konis you won't be sorry. Ride is way better than stock and handling will be better as well. I have the 4/4 with ground control coilovers. I autox my car though. So I probably wouldn't be the best to ride with as my ride is setup to stay flat in corners.
