[FOR SALE] New KONI yellow sport shocks- Double adjustable & revalved by TrueChoice

[ben1620]

*********SOLD*********
Selling an unused set of double adjustable Koni sport yellows. They have been re-valved and converted to double adjustable shocks by True Choice. Out of the box, Koni shocks are typically not valved equally so the exact same adjustments made on left and right shocks, will produce different stiffness settings. With revalved shocks, you can be sure the settings are consistent on each corner.

I bought these from another member on our forums when i thought i would be auto crossing this year but I'm not going to have he time or money to enjoy them. This setup costs around $2300 + waiting period. Never installed. Boxed and ready to ship.

Nice deal, wish I can pull the trigger on these. Another 250 bucks for springs and you get a top notch set that best most coilovers. Glws

I think it's also the fact that its now double adjustable instead. Being able to adjust compression and rebound independently is a must for higher level racers, or any performance oriented driver for that matter. Plus it's hard to get it to the point where each click yields the matching results in compression/rebound across the shocks (or left and right side match at least).

So, Koni on steroid a how I look at it

Spring supports the car, but shocks control springs' movements. Quality shocks FTW

I did alot of research before buying these and im convinced they are worth every penny. I dont have much time tonight or i would do some digging for you. Comparing shock dynos made a lot of sense to me and helped with my decision. A quick search brought up the following aarticle but the dyno format is unfamiliar:

Koni shock dyno's - S2KI Honda S2000 Forums

There is some good info here but the dynos are hard to read.

The OP in the link i posted said it cost him $1300 for the revalve + conversion from True Choice 4 yrs ago and I assume the price for shop time isnt any cheaper now.


EDIT:
Here's another post about it but the pics have expired. They do talk about the off the shelf inconsistency using a controlled experiment on an scca dyno:

With my limited knowledge I'd say yes unless your spending $3-$4k and dont mind waiting. Mass produced shocks dont have the same quality control as those from top tier companies such as JRZ. Apparently it costs alot of money to make sure a pair of shocks are actually matched. Maybe that's why you have to wait; either they tune them for your car when u buy them, or they have to make them.

I read in that link i posted that the rebound availability was increased by 40% after sending them to True Choice so its kinda like upRev freeing up horsepower.

...And if anyone doesnt have uprev you're missing out. Message seymore4 for a crazy low price on a tuner version.
