Koni Yellow vs Koni STR.T

[SVTour99]

Hey,

I am looking to order shocks for my 2011 Brembo GT. I would like to take advantage of the Koni sale right now. I am trying to decide between the value of the STR.T vs. the adjustability of the Sports. I would like to keep some fine tuning in it as I would like to autocross while still retaining the ability for weekend drag duty. I am trying to decide if the Sports are worth the extra cash.

Thanks!
Jeff

Autocross? yes go with the sports.
Good luck waiting for them though. Just get D specs. They are reasonably priced

Strano supposedly has them back in stock. Fingers crossed.

Go for the Sports. Adjustibility is so nice. Helps at the drag strip as well as the auto-x/road course. I run them all the way hard in the back and all the way soft in the front and get some pretty serious weight transfer. Hooks up my rubber bands a lot better than the stock shocks/struts. Plus if you live in a really crappy road area, like I do, running them at full soft rides very well considering the springs I have. If you use it for DD/drag/autox/roadcourse like I do, I think they are the single best suspension mod.

STR's are not bad if you don't plan on adjusting. My car sees the strip about 5 times a year and with an occasional spirited drive on the way to work they work well.
I had the sports on my MS3 before this car and i played with the adjustments a few times in the beginning but once i found what worked well for my use i didn't touch em anymore.

I have the STR's with K springs. The ride is bouncy, but I think that is to be expected after lowering. :shrug:

Any more info on this Koni sale? I'm looking for info but must be blind. I'm in the market for some STR.Ts. I got the $125 Eibach springs in the other thread. I'm looking to finish out my suspension...

Call Strano. Their website isn't always updated. Sam is a cool guy and is a suspension guru so he can help you decide as well.

Not really. I have the STR's on steeda sports and I have zero bounce. The ride is firm, but not uncomfortable. Considering my car is 99% street, I love the setup. If I raced more, I'd spring for the sports.

Just ordered Sports myself. I ordered from BMR, and got the same price and little extra off their Panhard bar. I go the last set they had in stock, though.
