Autocross questions

Since when are koni yellows "that kind of money". They're dirt cheap in the world of motorsport dampers. I'd also disagree heavily that you "might as well buy coilovers."

Just because it's labled a coilover does not mean it is a superior product. I've heard of Koni yellows plus springs with high springs rates out perform more expensive coilovers. This is not to say certain coilovers are not vastily superior but it does prove the point that the Swift (high spring rate) and koni combo is a bargain for the performance yielded.

Not to mentioned they are widely used, tested, praised, and have a lifetime warrantee. Ding fries are done...I hope to have a pair of Koni's.

Agreed! For average driver Koni's are going to be as much as you need. It's not until youre trying to extract every last bit of potential that a high quality coilover will make sense. Sticking with stock mounts and springs have some real benefits for street cars too. Coilovers can get old quick if 370z is your only car.

Mike.

Funny you say that. I just installed Koni Yellows this weekend (on stock springs). What settings do you suggest I run?
