Saaber Neutral Newbie July 9, 2003 Share July 9, 2003 That's normal....If too stiff, why don't you tune the setting to softer a bit... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2P2 Neutral Newbie July 9, 2003 Share July 9, 2003 there is no exact life time for koni.....dependency can be the weight of car, the way you drive, how hard you take a corner...... and if a yellow koni is hard, thats suppose to be normal yah??? why not get it check to test the stiffness?

Saaber Neutral Newbie July 9, 2003 Share July 9, 2003 If shock is spoiled, when you press down on one corner, your car will bounce more than once... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

F1fan Neutral Newbie July 10, 2003 Author Share July 10, 2003 Mine oredi put to softest settings, still very stiff ah.....thinking of changing... car left 2 years plus, so dowan to spend too much. Which ones can consider ha? I want something with good compromise between comfort and roadholding. 1) Monroe 2) KYB 3) Tokico Roughly how much for 4 pieces plus installation? That's normal....If too stiff, why don't you tune the setting to softer a bit... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
