It seems like everyone on the site including myself will recommend Konis for anything. They are kind of pricey though. Is this going to be on a mainly street car?

I'm also interested in finding out. I know most people here prefer the yellow adjustable but I guess it's all depending and what is the main use for. For me I'm looking for 90% street use and maybe once in a blue moon track. By the way this is for my 3rd gen camaro.

If you are looking for the best handling shock possible than the Koni yellow shocks would be the shock for you. They are going to give you the performance and adjustability for optimal handling and they also work very well for daily driving duties. We are actually running a pretty awesome deal on Koni yellow shocks right now. If you purchase a set of the Koni yellow shocks from us you will get the sale price we are currently having on them but you will also get a set of our BMR lower springs free of charge. Here is the link off od our website to the Koni shocks we have on sale:

If you are looking for something a little more affordable that will still work well for you the Bilstein shocks or the Koni STR.T shocks could also be a very good option. Both of these shock are good quality shock but they won't offer the adjustability or the performance of the Koni yellow shocks do. The Bilstein shocks are readily available as we have them in stock and ready to ship but the Koni STR.T shocks are on back order from Koni and as far as I know really nobody has them in stock.

If there is anything we can help you out with let us know.

Not sure what your plans are, but I run Summit Racing brand three-way adjustable drag shocks on the rear and have been happy with them.

Koni. Not even a question

Thanks for everyone"s time and input. it is a daily driver but I do enjoy the curves and an occasional drag strip visit too. I really like the adjustability but my pocket book will probably only allow the non-adjustable variety. i just wanted make and models for lowered cars to buy the ones I can afford and drool over the ones i can't. thanks to all for your time.

I have KYB's and love them.

My car is lowered. When I did it, I put on KYB and it was alright. Then the yellow Konis went on sale and I pulled the trigger and bought them. Man up and buy the Konis. Don't have the money? Then pinch your pennies until you do, its worth doing to get them

Ok, yellow koni's seems the way to go, how about a ballpark estimate on what you paid for front and rears?

The most affordable Koni yellow shocks are the F4/F3 setup which includes the front single adjustable shocks and the rear off-car single adjustable shocks. We are having a sale on Koni shocks right now so if you bought this Koni F4/F3 setup from us they would be $732.74 but we would include a set of our BMR lowering springs for free.

If you are interested just let us know because we have a bunch of these shocks on the shelf ready to ship.

My question would be, will he have to shell out another grand in a couple of years for replacements?

Old *** thread bump......

I saw it before I posted. Still relevant though.

I have about 14 years, and 180K+ miles of HARD, ALL conditions, on PURE **** roads, daily driving on my 4th gen, DA fronts, and SA rears with stiffer springs than most on here run on mine, and they are STILL doing just fine.

This also includes autocross and some open tracking as well.

These dampers CAN BE rebuilt (and re-valved) as well, when and IF they do 'wear out', so a whole new set, like is needed with some lesser dampers, is NOT necessary.

From everything we have seen the Koni Yellows hold up very well, come to think of it I don't ever remember anybody ever complaining about the durability and longevity of the shocks. Also, if something does come up you can always send the shock/s back to Koni to be rebuilt and if it can't be rebuilt they are good about providing a discount on the shock/s.
