what is the best settting for the koni yellow? ive heard that if you set them too stiff... then you can blow them... is this true? if so... then i definitely need to know how to set mine!

i have mine set to max firm, ride is a little stiffer, but haven't had any probs, 6 months now, even if i did, lifetime warranty on koni's.

i have had mine since august...and i have had no problems...i keep mine very stiff in th erear and medium in the front...i feel the most comfortable with this setting...you may hear some creaking when it is cold and you just start driving ..but it goes away...i am happy with them.

alright, that is helpful... i think im gonna go with medium in front and then medium in the rear... and see how that works out. so there is a lifetime warranty? thats awesome... they should be here within a few days... and my H&R springs just came in yesterday. thanks again guys.

so how many of you guys did the koni install on your own?

i really want new shocks. ive been on teins and stock shocks for a year, and live in pa were roads sucks BAD. i cant take the shitty ride anymore. and its doesnt seem like full sturt replacements are coming out anytime soon. so i might just do the konis.

anyway how long and diffcult is the install? other then the cutting is there a whole lot more to do?

i just talked to the people at tirerack.com... and the rear koni's arent in stock... but are supposed to be in by the 10th of february... but that is not a confirmed date... so it could be before or after that date... THIS SUCKS!! im so anxious to get all my stuff on!

HOnda gave the GFX (includes spolier, side, front, rear skirts + Carbon Fibre dash kit) for free on the 2003 model...

but they stop offering it for free on the 2004.

well they are already ordered (the koni yellows) and the fronts are on the way already... so getting that set on ebay would just be a waste of money unless i could sell them... but that is too much of a hastle... ill just wait, besides i gotta wait 2 weeks for my fiber images lip kit to be made... i didnt know they made them to order!!!

well thanks for the information... i wish i would have known about it a few days earlier... then i would have jumped on it... but when i searched right before i ordered mine, i couldnt find anything on ebay, so i just went with a reliable company. im gonna wait til mid february when i have ALL my parts (lip kit, rims, springs, struts, rear sway/tie) so then it will go from 'almost stock' to 'BAM!!! check out that ride'

i have a set of H&R springs... im so excited about finally getting my suspension set-up. i think with the koni's... the H&R's... and the Progress rear sway/tie bar combo... i should have a pretty sturdy suspension for a daily driver who likes to drive spiritedly every now and then (of course safely). and my D3 lip kit and my Rota Slips (16 inch flat black of course) should be here around the same time the rear konis finally come in!! i cant wait... thanks for all the feedback... i think this is a record for one of MY threads.

oh yeah... what are the best settings? so far ive gotten hard to medium... any other ideas?
