Thank you for contacting us here at KONI NA. The sport yellow shocks will not lower the vehicles ride height as the ride height is determined by the springs. If using the factory OE springs, the ride height will remain at OE height. Considering this, how long do Koni yellow shocks last?
(
They wear out pretty fast if u do hard driving. Over here, we change them once twice a yr with daily driving. With track driving, they leak and wear out within 1/2 a yr.
Also, do springs lower your car? Lowering springs lower your car's center of gravity for better handling, but there are many other benefits to using them. To read more about the benefits of using lowering springs, read "Springs for Spring!" Vehicles also benefit from an improved sportier appearance when lowered.
Keeping this in view, who makes KONI shocks?

Are KONI shocks any good?
Makes you want to buy them for all your other cars. I must saythe Koni Yellowsare the best shocks on the market for the price. Used them on my '95 Integra, got them for my '99 Lude. Very wide ride-adjustment band and adjustable spring perch allows a variety of ride combinations.

Are Koni yellow shocks adjustable?
KONI Sport. KONI Sports are the industry leader for user adjustable damping forces turning your daily driver into a weekend warrior. KONI Sport's familiar yellow color means superior motion control and adjustability for the discerning driving enthusiast. Are all KONI shocks adjustable?
Most KONI Sports are externally adjusted—you just turn the included knob counter-clockwise to firm up the internal rebound valving. The adjustment knob can be kept in your glove box until the next time you want to get serious about handling—and then use it again to soften your shocks for a comfortable ride home. Are Koni FSD shocks adjustable?
KONI makes adjustable shocks for numerous brands of RVs and coaches. This adjustment feature can be used to compensate for wear or allow you to fine tune your ride to your specific preference. Koni is also offering our new Frequency Selective Damper (FSD) for select motorhomes. Can you adjust shock absorbers?
Many adjustable shocks are similar when it comes to adjustment. The shock absorber doesn't have to be removed for adjustment. Once installed, all changes are handled externally with the adjustment knob. By turning the knob clockwise, each click will increase the shock resistance. Can Struts be adjusted?
The adjustment should be done very gently and slowly, since the hex is connected to a thin rod, which fits inside the gun-drilled strut shaft to connect and adjust the rebound at the bottom of the strut. Strange double adjustable aluminum bodied and Ultra struts have a hex shaped adjustment on the top of the shaft. What is adjustable damper?
Ameritool dampers are durable and feature damping on compression or extension. The travel speed can be easily adjusted and remains constant throughout the stroke. The single direction version is controllable in one direction only, with the free flow in the opposite direction. How do you adjust adjustable shock absorbers?
7 Steps To Finding Your Perfect Shock Setting - Set bump and rebound full soft.
- Do an out and in lap.
- Add bump in two click increments until the “feel” of steering improves, doing an out and in lap with each adjustment.
- Now add rebound in two sweep (or click) increments until car “feel” (driver confidence) improves.
Why are Bilstein shocks better?
Bilstein's technically superior, patented monotube gas charged design allows the excessive heat from the oil to transfer to the outer surface of the shock body and dissipate more efficiently. The dividing piston also permits the oil to expand as heat builds, preventing aeration (foaming) and viscosity loss. Where are Bilstein shocks made?
Hamilton, OH
Where are Monroe shocks made?
Monroe shock absorbers, struts and other products are manufactured by Tenneco. Founded in 1916 in Monroe, Mich., by mechanic and entrepreneur August F. What are Bilstein shocks?
BILSTEIN is a name synonymous with suspension. Since we offered the first production mono-tube gas-pressure shock absorber in 1957 we have worked alongside vehicle manufacturers to push damper technology forward. For those with higher expectations than the OE suspension can deliver we offer BILSTEIN B6. Do Bilstein shocks have a lifetime warranty?
Rare for the performance automotive industry, BILSTEIN offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty to the original purchaser that our product shall be free from defects in material and workmanship for the life of the damper. Why lowering springs are bad?
Lowering springs also change the geometry of your wheel/tire fitment. If it's not done right, you can expect both accelerated and uneven tire wear. Your car could also bottom out over speed bumps and be even tougher to get up inclines, like your driveway, without scraping your bumper. Are coilovers good for daily driving?
For a brief answer – no, coilovers are not really suitable for daily driving because they make your ride extremely stiff and uncomfortable. Although it's possible to adjust coilovers to make it acceptable for daily driving. Do lowering springs ruin ride quality?
1. Lowering springs will make my ride feel more harsh. Most lowering spring sets are designed to maintain most of your car's factory suspension travel distance and are about 15% higher in spring rate design to preserve ride quality. You will have a harsher ride from stiffer shocks, otherwise known as HD models. Do you need an alignment after replacing springs?
Yes, you should align the car after springs. Not only you have changed the ride height, you may have potentially moved things around enough to throw off the alignment settings. Are coilovers better than lowering springs?
Unlike lowering springs, coilovers offer a much greater range of adjustability including ride height, spring pre-load, shock damping, and rebound. Typically, coilover sets feature even stiffer spring rates than a set of lowering springs alone, again sacrificing ride quality for cornering performance. Can I put lowering springs on stock shocks?
Stock springs and shocks are compatible with each other and quite obviously so. If you are installing lowered springs, go for the ones with nonlinear spring rate/progressive springs. They provide a good ride while considerably lowering the car. Also consider practicality while lowering. Can you cut coil springs to lower car?
Most stock springs can be trimmed a half coil to lower the car just enough for to improve handling. The spring must be LOCALLY heated a half coil below the cut so it can be bent to match the spring pocket. Do lowering springs get lower over time?
They will settle a bit (1/4 or so) in the first couple weeks, then maybe another little bit over a much longer period of time (6 months or so). Do coilovers make your ride smoother?
Absolutely not. Since most coilovers are also going to allow you to lower the ride height, the spring and shock rate should be increased to avoid the suspension crashing and bottoming out. Doing so will offer a performance bump to most any vehicle.
