TY, but the link said this service is not available.

I would be quite happy with a gently used set of Koni Sport shocks. I am an old man who wants to go for an easy Sunday afternoon drive.

 

Sorry for the issue, the website must have been restarting when you tried if you saw that error message, it is back up now. We have 2 sets of these left available.

philosophico, thank you for the referral

 

How do these compare to the stock SRT6 B6 shocks? I'd love to jump to the KW V2's (I have had them on a couple of cars), but outside the budget for the moment.

 

I would like to help you but I know very little about shocks.

Mechanical or electrical?

I have a set of the koni sport shocks on my SRT6. When adjusted to the softest setting the ride comfort equals my Limited.

 

How do they do turned to full hard?

 

They blow out. I had a set and removed them after 500 miles because the front driver blew. I went and bought some Bilstein after that. With your application, you'd prolly be better of going coil-over if you the Bilstein are to soft.

I think most members that buy them are looking for a softer ride, especially on the srt-6 since it is stiff.

 

I know I need to pony up for the KWs. I have them on my daily driver, and they're awesome.

 

I've had them for 10 years without problems but never used them at full hard. Forum member Beaner has them on his M113K conversion (2nd one Rudy and Paul built) with SRT6 springs. He put them on when I did but for a different reason, he wanted a firmer ride. I've been in his car many times. he has a big *** stereo in the back and drives the car like he stole it. I believe he softens up the rears when he takes it to the drag strip. So far he hasn't had any problems with the shocks. As a matter of interest I know you are doing a brake upgrade too. I have 4 pot Startech (Brabus/Alcon) calipers upfront with stock MC, no problems. Beaner runs Stoptech front and rear (6 &4 pot) with stock m/c, no problems.

 

Thanks for the info! I ran Konis exclusively for several years on my mid-80's Shelby Dodges, and also on my SVO Mustangs. They were fantastic. I have no doubt the same would happen here. The elephant in the room for me is the weight balance of the car is completely different with the M113K up front. Even though the car gained less than 150#, the bulk of it is forward of the front axle, exacerbating the handling.

With the N/A engine, the SRT-6 springs had the front end sitting uncomfortably high. With this engine, it now looks like a lowered SRT-6. I'm a bit surprised that such a small weight change did so much, but the numbers do not lie. Thank you for your feedback. I have always liked the Konis.
