Calling Koni Yellow and Swift spring owners
5 Attachment(s)
Hello, I have added front and rear koni yellow to my already swift spring setup and have notice the front is sitting much lower now. I did install front control arm bushes (upper and lower) the upper inner was double offset which gave me an extra -0.5 Neg camber so im probably running -2.0. Understand that may be giving an illusion to being lower due to tuck, however i feel like if it was running positive it would still definitly be lower than oem shock.
Overexposed some of the photos and added a red line to denote the top of tyre. Attachment 150885 Attachment 150886 Rear guard is 688mm Front is 666mm (measure from ground) Attachment 150889 Pretty sure everything is sitting right as far as the shock and spring Attachment 150887 Attachment 150888 Appreciate the input. Also if you would like to share comments about ideal damping settings, currently running front and rear at 50% firm with a whiteline front sway bar in soft setting (approx 30% stiffer than oem) Do lots of high speed mountain/country roads everything from the rough stuff to nice and smooth. Want the sportiest ride while avoiding being kicked off the road if i do encounter a bad section of said roads. Cheers |

same thing here. |
I run mine at 50%. Have the full SPL catalog, including bushings, and it rides more comfortably than OEM
|
Anyone else with this combo confirm? I have emailed Koni who have said they have sold hundreds of these with no issues with height. They suggested checking the bump stop condition however ride height was fine with swifts and oem shock
|
Did you do the install? Were all the parts put back on properly?

On the front Koni's. The lower spring perch is 1/4" lower than stock. So the front will sit lower a 1/4" lower. Commonly asked question about Koni's.

Email correspondence from koni are stating no height changes occure from shock. Do we know if there is a solution for this? Can a spacer or similar be used to sit under the perch? I wonder if the G37 shocks sedan or coupe are different than 370z and Koni have matched it to them to save on cost. If the 1/4 inch is indeed true than Koni need to provide a solution to this such as an alternate spring perch that can raise it 1/4. |
The solution is to get good coilovers

When did the metric system become “my thing”?
Maybe dont run a cheap spring/shock on a 500hp build. |

Might be able to get a claim for refund as per Koni's latest reply so may very well end up witha set of MCA coilovers if they can guarantee me they wont have the rattle in the top moounts Ive experienced. |
