yea i got mine from shox.com...just ask for daryl and he'll hook you up. hey IRIPTHEKUT...ur getting only REAR ones? or the full set?

 

well heres the deal with that. school is coming up and i really want the full set but i am left with having to pay for tutition and books, so im stuck just buying the rear ones for now. hopefully my stock front shox wont blow out anytime soon with my s-techs (knocks on wood). im planning to buy the fronts when gather enough money.

yup, thats a life of a college student with a passion to mod his beloved car.

 

hey i feel ya...at least you have a good car to mod while in college..when i was there..i was stuck with an 88 accord ahahh...now my dad drives that POS.

about the shocks blowin out...i had my s-techs for close to 22k and they were still fine. as long as u don't drive like a maniac and hit every pothole in the road, u should be fine

 

IMHO, it would seem to make more sense to replace the fronts rather then the backs, if you can only do one or the other.
It just seems like the fronts would be more likely to go since they hit bumps first and they are compressed more since the Tiens drop more in the front then the back.
I just think you'll get more life out of the stock rears then the stock fronts.

 

the front is what always blows out first. the rear is what you feel the most.

 

how do you adjust the stiffness of the rear shocks? do you have to completely take it off?

 

yes, you have to remove the rears to adjust them.

 

cuz i heard to break them in, you should put set it to the softest setting after so many miles. can i just install them to the setting i want so i dont have to go through the trouble of taking them off and reinstalling them second time or is that a bad idea?

 

Can they be adjusted by taking out all the paneling in the trunk and accessing if from the top nut?

 

Where did you hear that about breaking them in? Nothing is mentioned in the instructions about breaking in the struts. Also, what would make koni's different from other struts/shocks that don't need to be broken in with the exception of the adjustability? People don't have to follow a procedure to break in TRDs. If a break-in procedure was needed, don't you think TRD would have built in some kind of adjustability (small) in order to facilitate that? I say don't worry about it--the Konis have a lifetime warranty already (I've already replaced one).

Mr Meaty, I believe you actually have to remove the shock, as you have to actually turn the assembly in order to adjust it.

 

get 3 of your fattest friends in the back seat and find as many speedbumps as possible

 

werd up. that makes sense.
