DIY: Koni Yellows for GD3 rear
#41
i need to try this. it should be super easy to make a tube, with 3 brackets.... 2 being for the knuckle, and 1 for the sway bar. then a round mount to put any coilover sleeve (ground control or whatever). it should be gravy.
im getting ready to do all this on my n600. its got a weird setup, and i want to switch to a knuckle with 4x100

you might not want integra front koni... you really want a koni designed for macpherson style strut. the rod will be much thicker since it takes all the weight, PLUS cornering load. the integra has double wishbone setup, so the only force the shock sees is up and down, not side to side.
we ran into this when i had my 1980 civic. nothing available, no inserts available that small, so people modded integra and civic struts to it and eventually bent the rods. they are not designed to take all the cornering force that a macpherson is designed for

Tyler, if you have a chance, check the OD of your Tokicos. I wonder if those might be a candidate for the Koni insert mod.

Here is the link I was checking out his site 06-11 Civic Suspension I know this comes up 06-11 Civic but the page says 09+ Fit.
If you hit the highlighted under Koni shocks you can e-mail him.

If the Red Line "struts" are available for the fronts for the GE and are able to be simply rettro fitted on a GD, then the SAAB Koni's are available for the rear... did we just find a front and rear solution?
Haha, at this point at $540 shipped for another set of Tokico's I might just get them and put them on a shelf till I need them!!!
