Hey mate,

I've been after some Koni shocks for a while now and just noticed a small leak in one of my rear shocks so it's time to upgrade.

My car is a VS V6 live rear axel

At the momement my suspension is completly stock. I'm locking to lower it a bit and was considering Lovels sports lows but mainly I want my car to handle better so I need some very stiff shocks (Not too stiff I still need to be able to drive it every day).

Just a few questions:

1) What Koni shocks would you recomend.
2) Will the Konis work well with Lovels springs.
3) Can I put Shocks in now and lower the car later?
4) How much would Konis and Lovells cost all round?

Cheers

Really depends on how much you want to spend. The Koni Special (Red) are a good quality shock and will probably do. They are internally adjustable (off the car). The Red's are $212 each for the fronts, and $138 each for the rears.

The Yellows are the next step up in performance dampening, and are externally adjustable (on the car). These are $283 each for the fronts and $188 each for the rears.

2) Will the Konis work well with Lovels springs.

Yep absolutely, either Lovels or Kings will work fine. Especially with the luxury of adjustable shocks, you just match the shock to the springs.

3) Can I put Shocks in now and lower the car later?

Definitely!

4) How much would Konis and Lovells cost all round?

Koni prices as above, depending on what which way you go, and Lovells are $130 per pair front or rear.

Regards,
Greg

Unfortunately not here now, even the Koni catalouge doesn't give dimensions... even the Gabriel one does!!!

[hakhawk]

i know, its a pain in the bum!! i called chris at koni today, he gave me dimensions and a shorter shock to use. champs over there!!

[barely legal]

How hard are these shocks to install?

[gslrallysport]

Not very, even inserts are easy enough. Either way you'll need to pull the front struts out to do it...

[vn calais manual]

how much for a pair of koni reds for a live axle vn? still same pricing as above?

[gslrallysport]

Hi mate,

Koni Reds to suit the rear of your VN in a shortened body sports shock are $158 each.

Greg

[VN_Luke]

how much for adjustable yellow's for front + rear to suit VN?

how 'adjustable' are they? does the adjustment control the damp/rebound at once? are shocks available with individual controls for each? what is the range of adjustment?

Cheers,
Luke
