Default Koni 4/3 and 4/4

After some research ive decided to get a set of Koni's, however, I am debating on the 4/3 or 4/4. I know there near the same with the exception of the internal and external settings. However, just wanted to get some opinions on how worth it that setting is. My car is my dd and just wondering since im sure many have either setup, on what your take is on each.

Well I went for the 4/4 because i didnt want to take the shocks off the car everytime i need to adjust them. However on the on car adjustable version you just about hafta take the whole rear interior apart to get to them anyway so its still kind of a pain to do. But that was my reasoning for spending the extra hundred bucks.

basically you cant go wrong with either one. I went with the 4/3 simply because of lower cost and that I really wont be needing to change the settings since I just Cruise with the car and go to the track every once in while.


So based off ur needs, make your choice

4/3 for me, once I set the rear I don't think it needs changed (for me). I'll save the $100 over dropping the rear to change the setting.

IIRC the 4/3's are single piston valve which will damp a heavy rear like a 9" or12 bolt a little better than the twin piston 4/4.

Well pretty much the info I was looking for, sounds like the 4/3s will do me right. I will also be going with the strano springs so it should compliment nicely. Thanks for the info.

i went with the 4/4 with strano springs. ride quality is great and it is quite easy to adjust them whenever you want.

I went 4/3 as well, since I never really expect to change the rear setting again. But, if you need to, it only takes about 15 minutes per side to do it. It's just not an easy "in the pits" change.

Since your car is a daily driver just get the 4/3s. After you get them set to what you like you will probably never change them again anyway.
