I read this & thought "when did Konig start making suspension?".
I believe you mean KONI? Really big difference that one letter makes
Konig wheels=SUCK


Koni= The shit. IMHO I wouldnt even compare Koni & H&R. I'll take Koni any day of the week. Not saying the H&R is crap. I just do not like them.
In my many years of dealing with vehicles I have never had a problem with Koni's on either lowered cars, or just a stock replacement for work shocks/struts.

H&R have never failed me!

I am sorry I meant Koni...haha
anyways, How low is this Avg low 40mmF 25mmR ? 1.55Front and 1.0Rear? I think I am interested to Koni Suspension! then I might get H&R Rear Sway Bar since only they make them now.. do I need anything else? what about shims what size? 8mm to 20mm?
I will also upgrade all brake pads and get brembo rotors.

DEF KONI!

really good drop (tucks a bit of tyre front and back and sits really even, looks mad) , SOOOO comfy and go with 1 pads you'll be stoked

good price too!

i've got konis and i love them, kind of. they ride very nicely. BUT, they did not drop the front nearly as much as the rear. I have even trimmed 1/4 of a coil off the front and it still needs to come down a tad.

BTW, koni springs aren't made by koni, they are actually Vogtland springs

From what I've heard, H&R cup kit is a very aggressive drop & feel, stiff, sporty ride.

can you guys post pics of your cars with the koni springs?
thanks

Koni suspension kit is cheaper then H&R Kit.

most recent, springs have settled, and the front is cut 1/4 coil. i would like to cut another 1/4 coil (for a 1/2 total, mathematicians).

it actually sits even lower now, and my trunk is COMPLETELY stuffed with my subs, and all my work equipment, so the back tucks right now. I don't have any "current" pics
