I have been dealing with KONI for many years - the shortened shock that they built and distributed for the 1st Gen CRX was actually a race design of mine that I gave them permission to replicate. I have heard a lot of people talkinga bout wanting a pair for the fronts or rears...so, I have been in contact with KONI to plant the seed for making a run of the parts. But, I have to have a general idea of how many people would actually buy them.

I do not have any pricing information - do not ask...I'll let you know when I do.

What I would like to know specifically:

Would you want a set of fronts only?

Fronts and rears?

Or rears only?

I would not do this for $$$ - whatever they cost me I will pass along to the group.

1 pair of fronts for me please. I need to get my fronts done anyway, this would probably be cheaper. What would the valving be like? I'd want mine done for 29mm t-bars.

I would definately buy front pair. But someone would have to ship them to me in England (UK).

Valving would be perfect for 25mm to 29mm torsion bars with the adjustment range they have in them. I ran them with both 27mm and 29mm.

I would think that a small package like that would be relatively easy to get to you - if this goes through, I will take on the task.

I am very interested too.. I would like the fronts more than rears but all 4 would be nice... So my vote would be for the full set.. wink.gif

E-AT_me: How much were the sturts/shocks when you bought them?? This would be a nice baseline price.. rolleyes.gif

I would essentially be interested in front and rear. The front of my car is the only part that is really lowered right now, and the GR-2's in stock placement just don't have enough travel for a decent ride.
