Lots more where these came from. Good luck.

 

Thank you FJF .....

 

I would be looking to spend at least 2 grand on a set of reputable Coilovers, build your setup with some konis, or just don't bother with them.

The 1000$ setups are just a bit better than stock, so unless your stock dampers are blown then I would just get some lowering springs and call it a day. Then once the stock ones go out, get some konis, or MR blisteins.

 

Sounds like a good idea thanks ..... I was lookin into some blisteins as well i might pick some up !!!!

 

Which Koni products are designed and available for our cars?

 

A quick google search lead me to https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...lstein-mr.html

Another thing, if 1g DSM guys are using MR Blisteins, 2g Konis fit the rear of the 1g with a little modification, you could get the readily available Yellows for dsms and build your own setup.

Note I did say, build your setup. Its not for someone that just wants buy off the shelf parts and go with it.

 

It was a product built for Ralliart and available in Australia on an extremely limited basis. Not sure how it's even remotely relevant.

... okey-dokey

To answer my own question, no Koni products are designed and available for the (CT9A) Evolution. You could have just said that.

 

ohlins.

 

Hey bro, I heard you like to not read posts for some reason.

I never said you could just bolt-on some off the shelf konis and go with it, but anyone knows that koni is the best Damper you can get on a budget. Now I am sorry if your too over privileged to know how to fabricate, or get things fabricated. But that can sometimes be the best solution to a problem.

Here is another thread that discusses having konis fabbed.

...what?

You advised the OP to buy Konis for his Evo. I asked which Koni products were designed and available for the Evolution and you started spinning, instead of simply saying that you made a mistake. EvoM is a community. I know you're new and may not be used to a similar environment. Those of us who've been here for a while are concerned with the integrity of information, especially when it is being passed to new owners. Please keep that in mind. There's enough BS flying around without a need to add even more to the fold.

Sorry, how would you know what is best for the Evolution? Your familiarity with the platform rests on a tertiary level. Might not be a bad idea to hang back a bit, learn something, maybe buy an Evo of your own, and then offer guidance.

It's one guy talking to himself over the course of 4 posts 10 years ago (!).

 

AMR's are about $1850 and while not used as much on EvoM, I raced my set for a couple years before getting a set of AST 5100s. They are the only sub 2k shock I'd recommend and Ive tried a lot.

Even if Koni's were available for the Evo I wouldn't really recommend them for a DD car. Yellows ride harsh in every car Ive tried them in. They do work great for a budget race shock but like FJF said, no worth the effort on an Evo.

So your list of quality goes in this order.
MR Bilsteins w/ GTWorks springs (or swifts) - ~$1000
AMR with your choice of spring rates - $1850
AST 4100 ~ $2300
Bilsteins ~ $3000
AST 5100 ~ $3-4k
Then it just goes up from here with AST 5200s and Ohlin Flags topping 5k.

Not to try and hijack your thread, but I have my old AMRs with several options of spring rates just sitting in the garage Ive been meaning to sell.
