koni yellow / h&r race? if that’s the combo, you’ll love it. it’s a great all-around option. On soft up front, handles like it should have from the factory and isn’t harsh at all. On firm, well, I’ll let you know after this weekend’s auto-x festivities. ---

On soft up front, handles like it should have from the factory and isn’t harsh at all. On firm, well, I’ll let you know after this weekend’s auto-x festivities. It’s an FK cupkit. Should be plenty for now as long as it’s not as soft as my last set up. I want it to not ahve as much bounce to it 😛 For the price of this kit, I probably couldn’t buy 1 front Koni shock…so, I can’t complain about performance…BTW I’ve done 3-4 of these installs in the last couple of weeks. I can bang out a mk4 suspension in like an hour if not less. > [@Black Integra"](#): > > Looking good! > > Can’t wait to see you at the track again this season You too man 🙂 I’ll be ready to rock and roll by the end of May I am expecting…Gotta repaint the car still so it looks the same color at least 😛 ---

nice work val! fk kit should be good. I got my koni’s off of an ebay store for $495 when it was all said and done, so keep that in mind for the future if you need to swap out. I thought I was getting good with 4 hours. Stupid lower strut pinch mount thing is always a pain in my dick. ---

Stupid lower strut pinch mount thing is always a pain in my dick. Next time you gotta do one…just hit me up…I am ready to swap 100 of these as needed…some FK’s actually use Koni shocks/struts but these aren’t from what I am reading. ---
