Yeah these would be an awesome option right now as Bilstein HDs are backordered forever.

Good valving, good quality, good price, and available. Badly needed!

Bump for an update :D

If the engineers are having issues with the adjustment knob space requirements near the CV boot/axle, have them flip the shock body completely. There are advantages and disadvantages of running either inverted or non inverted shocks, so to the average consumer, it shouldn't really matter.

Definitely interested in this. Its too bad the adjustment can be in the rod like the Tokico Illumina shocks like this:

Still working on the knob?

Last I spoke with Chris this is DOA.

However, other companies may be explored to look for alternatives.

Damn what a let down

ChrisCarey Mar 3, 2010 04:36 PM

I agree :( I'm still going to look for alternatives though!

For my sentra Koni makes a drop in option where you cut the stock struts and reuse the housing. I am surprised koni doesn't offer something similar for the evos. The sentra rears dont require the hacking but they are a simple strut with a lower perch so not much design to them.

Exploring this once again, this time through Eibach, but pricing is a bit higher than what I had hoped for. Let me know your thoughts on the pricing below:

Non Adjustable / Performance Valving $799.99 shipped
Adjustable (Waiting for tech data) $1249.99 shipped

I'd pay $1250, it still less than Ohlins and out perform inexpensive coilovers.

I was personally trying to work with Koni on making a set for the evo. I didn't have time to get the measurements and specs they were requesting, but it seems like they were saying they could make something for the evo. Was it pricing that made this unappealing for you guys?

Onyxeros Aug 5, 2011 07:43 AM

is the strut body still the same size as stock or shorter?

Couldn't get a hold of them actually, perhaps you can put me in touch with whomever you were speaking with?

I had the same issue with Koni. Could not get a hold of them.
