Thinking about buying a set of height & dampen adjustable Koni shocks. Has anyone fitted these and if so what do you think?

Thanks, Karl

Great. I am extremely happy with my shocks and they ahev plenty of adjustment in them. I can drastically alter the set up of the car through the shocks. I would say go for it.

I have also fitted a set of Kings sprinsg which are made up for the GTR's and this has also made a large change for the better in the handling characteristics of the car.

Mick,

Can you tell me what spring rates you got from King springs and whether you are still using the stock top mounts?

Thanks for the feedback guys the Koni's sound like value for money.

From memory my spring rates are something around 350 front and 280 rear but would have to look it up to be sure. I purposly did not go for the studidly high pring arets others had as the car had to perform on the road. Since I did mine and I wrote on here about setting one up I have had 3 people come over to see and ride in their cars and fix their handling all of them had the cars too low and way to hard. The cars where like being on roller skates. What we did was up the rate a little but more than that we dropped the car overall sltighly but front more than rear (to allow more suspension travel) and left the rear softer by proportion. This has drastically altered the handling and removed heasp of oversteer. The car truly is very neutral now in it's handling characteristics. Yes still have top mounts.
