I bought the Konis because they just happened to go on sale before my Swift install. I was lead to believe that Konis were the logical addition to aftermarket springs. Now I'm left wondering if I made a $860 mistake ![]() I'm not saying 'stay away from Koni'. But there was a lot of hype on this forum saying that Konis were going to be awesome and would be the best bet for aftermarket springs. I gotta call BS on that. Most of that hype started before Koni even released their 370Z shocks/struts...before anybody bought/drove them. Perhaps Swifts are best paired with factory shocks afterall? Perhaps Koni is better paired with a softer spring rate...or for the hardcore guys? Just trying to give you guys honest feedback. I'll keep you posted. |

I would say your criteria does not match the spring/shock combo you picked. That does not mean the Koni's plus Swift's won't be an amazing combo for autocross/racing. Koni's combined with many spring manufacturers these days make for a very strong weekend track car. You can't beat the value of the Koni shocks. I've owned a set on my Rx8 that I recently sold and plan to go back to them as soon as possible. Not to mention the factory shocks have this Bouncy characteristic to them at high speeds that I feel is on the verge of being extremely dangerous. Any track junky should get the stock shocks replaced as soon as possible or risk upsetting the car at high speed going over uneven pavement.
