Who Likes Their Koni Yellows

[B0oStEr]

I bought some for my r32gtst.

They are an old model and are very stiff, even with Kings lows and softest setting.

If you think yours are ok on the street what is their model no?

Have you had them revalved?

Or have you ditched them for something better?

[T04GTR]

only iff they dont start pissing out oil out the adjuster. soooooo leaky. if they last 6 months id be very suprised.

if you happen to have ones that arnt leaking they work quite well. your springs are binding or its hitting the bumpstops.

My shocks are in good condition. No leaks and they have been on my car 18 mths and were a couple of years old when I got them.

These are kings KDFL101/KDRL102 and are supposed to be only 25% stiffer than stock.

What can the springs bind on?

Bump rates are too high to get near the bumpstops

I spoke to Marco at Top Performance.

The reason my suspension is so stiff is the konis are from the first batch Top Performance bought into Australia for the gtr and then the rear mounts were modified to suit the gtst.

The bump and rebound rates were specified by koni japan according to what gtrs were using on the circuit in japan at the time so they are badly mismatched with kings springs.

They want about $500 to revalve them to suit but I wondered if the money would be better spent on other shocks.

Take a look at the Bilstien price on the Sydney Kid Group buy.

they felt good when I had my whilteline kit on my old R33...

but I heard that bilstein one have better ride, it's just they dont have any in stock when I bought my kit, so whiteline supplied me with the yellow konis. But they claimed it's maintenance free for life. Not sure if it will leak after a while as I've sold the car a few months ago and the whiteline kit was only about 1.5 yrs old.

[T04GTR]

thats interesting. all the koni yellows ive seen on cars that see track use all have at least one or both left hand ones leaking out the adjuster.

yeah if they are jap specified valving then yes they will be way off. honestly your better getting complete shocks/springs already set up.

Lots of unhappy people lately.

What has happened to this group buy?

Nothing from SK since aug 7

I have Koni Yellows, and yup, they've leaked stuck adjsuters on left and front and rear. High speed damping is kidney crushing, I have them paired with whiteline springs and was looking at the SK GB but I haven't heard anything back from him in about a month.
