Boots for Koni Yellows?

I have no real proof just I haven't come across anyone that has bought them. Haven't seen many(any?) forum threads about them. I think people generally buy something with some

I have no real proof just I haven't come across anyone that has bought them. Haven't seen many(any?) forum threads about them. I think people generally buy something with some adjustments (perch and shock body length) If they bother to upgrade their shocks/springs.

So I would guess, the most popular shocks for lowering springs, are stock shocks.
Lowering springs is mostly a cost saving measure. When you don't want to spend money on coilovers. The overlap of people buying lowering springs and shocks together is probably incredibly small. When you can buy coilovers for the same price, or even less.

advice: sell your lowering springs and buy some br racing BR coilovers for 1200$. That's less than the cost of the lowering springs and koni yellows no? OR just replace your blown shock unit.

I think you nailed it. Koni is a popular damper among a lot of different platforms, but it doesn't seem to be as common for the 370Z (if this forum holds any indication). They are a great product, but pricey. With a set of springs and these struts/shocks, you are quickly approaching the same value of your budget coilovers available on the market, which allow even greater adjustment. I know that Koni offers a lifetime guarantee on their products, and they will either rebuild or offer a replacement at no charge if the damage/failure occurs on the street (the same warranty does not apply if it occurs on course or track). They will also customize the damper for specific applications (for, I assume, a cost). I've had great experiences with Koni products on a past car, which is why I went that route.
