Koni VS OEM

OK took a couple of pics.
Car with G-2"s and red springs with one coil cut in the rear none in the front


Car with konis installed


the front a- arms with konis and uncut red springs. I read here some time ago the handling was best when the a-arms were as close to parallel with the road. I did'nt now if cutting was going to change the angle so I left them alone. I also recently installed a 1" sway bar.

Diving it home last night, the handling is improved, the car seems more positive in the corners and corners at speed are a breeze.. Love the upgrade
If i was to do it again, I'd leave the rear springs alone with the Konis as their length is shorter than the KYB's

A bit of thread mining.


A quick question in regards to Koni Yellows for a Spider, has anyone purchased any lately (JAN 2012), if so how much and from where ? Looking for fronts.

Thanks in Advance

Thanks for the updates guys. Look how shiny your car is. Mine is still sitting in the garage waiting for warmer weather so the interior can be stripped and painted. Dying to try and start the engine. Once that is set I can start looking at purchasing shocks and sway bars. Thanks for the info!

Still reading and re-reading this thread. About two years later. The car has been on and off the road for the past few months. I have a bit of fixing up to do soon. Hopefully new shocks and springs will come in the next year. LOL. Keep on truckin'. Thanks everyone for helping and updating.
