Is this Koni shocks? what Shock part nu.?
It's not new, it's LG's racing coilover set. It also has real coilovers in the rear shock location.



$2300 a set. More info below:

There's not many pics of his setup out there, but I have a few installed shots.

Also, I don't run a front isolator as I don't think it's needed. Who knows, maybe it would help the ride quality. I'm assuming you mean install it between the spring and the hat?

So back to what another member said earlier, Koni's come set on full soft from the factory?? Im having New Era Performance(SPONSOR) install my shocks(4/4 Koni's) and Strano Springs on thursday and I might as well have them adjust them to what settings I think Ill need to start out with, then I can adjust later. From what I've read, 4 1/2 sweeps from full on front, and full soft on rear seem to be popular..... any feedback?

Yeah, that's the halfway point for the fronts. What I ended up doing is keep firming up the fronts until the freeway ride made me sick. The firmer it is the faster the car will drop when you go across a low section of road. It makes your stomach go up into your chest like a rollercoaster ride. Or you can just keep going firmer until you think the ride gets too rough and then back them off a little.

I actually do run my rears a bit firmer. For some reason with my rears on full soft the ride is good, but I loose grip accelerating out of turns. About one full turn firmer helps that situation. I guess the softer setting allows the rear to lean a bit faster and the grip goes down. I'm not sure, but that's the way it is with my car.

Yes you can make something similar. It just depends on what you want. Are you looking for a racing shock? Do you need rodends? Etc...
