Koni Shocks - "Yes, hopefully pretty soon"

[arpypat]

In the same boat here. Swift says the springs were designed for the stock Si dampers but with 50%+ stiffer rates who knows how long they will last. Might be better to just get it right the first time.

Always nice to get it right the first time!

I had Tein Street Advance Z coils in my 3rd gen Acura TL 6mt and it rode like a dream. Had the dampers set to Tein's recommendations. Height was about 1" lower than stock.

Note that the Flex Z coils for the 10th gen Si has spring rates much higher than stock. 336 lbs/in (6kg/mm) all around.

Ideally I would want to pair the Swift springs with Koni Yellows as for a daily driver I feel the 6k linear rates are on the border of being a little too stiff.

Koni Yellows are pretty good. Had them on an old car. You'll have to get the ADS cancellers separately for the Si though.

I just looked up the spring rates of the Tein SA Z kit I had in my 05 TL. 12k front and 6k rear LOL. It drove amazing, though. Like better than stock, I couldn't believe it.

Of course, every car is different. That TL was almost 600lbs heavier than this gen Si. And I bought new OEM top mounts, since the SA Z didn't come with the pillowball uppers.

Tein makes some high-quality stuff for Acura/Honda. This Flex Z kit for the Si is still relatively new, so I'm looking forward to reading reviews once people get them installed!

My dream on this Si is to have Koni Yellows and pair that with Eibach Sportlines (the new ones being made specifically for the Si coupe...whenever the hell that may be LOL)

That’s what I want to do but with swift springs

Any news?

Thinking about how much a set of Koni yellows would cost for all 4 corners, plus springs and ADS canceller, you're probably looking at over $1200 all in. The Tein Flex Z with ADS canceller included is right at that area as well. Something to think about depending on your goals.

Anyone know if we have an update from Koni?

 

[Hondanickx]

I contacted Koni again and now they said they focused their products for the US and Asian market cause the demand is higher .So they won't Bring out anything in the european market.
Even though they told me 2 years ago they would release their products in 6months.
Go figure...

So, time to give up on these forever or what?

 

[cocoroos]

Yeah I’ve gone through 3 suspension setups since posting this LOL don’t think this is happening

 

[jwbrockman]

The thing that sucks is I’d be interested in these for stock class autocross, but there aren’t really any stock dimension alternatives, at least for the fronts anyhow.
There’s also a mythical bilstein sport option out there but haven’t seen evidence that it actually exists, just numbers in catalogs.

Tein has them for some years .
Endura pro or the endura pro Plus with adjustable damping.
