yo peeps, since tokico is dropping the ball with their hp shocks, koni just came out with the STR.T street shocks, that will be good for lowered cars, without the need for adjustment. just direct replacment. so lets bug the **** out of em and get them to produce these bad boys for the cobalt.

contact http://www.koni-na.com/contact.cfm

phone 859-586-4100, lets do it peeps, lets get some replacemnt shocks, not everyone wants adjustable shocks.

Dunkinuts

They already make shocks for our cars. and why would i want something that is non-adjustable?

Eddie

not every one wants adjustable, not everyone wants to fork over 600 bucks for shocks. especially when you have to hack up the fronts. some people just want a good replacement that will handle lowering plain and simple. its called options, more options the better, not one thing is good for everyone.

spike

i just wish they made the adj. ones that where direct bolt on.......but on there site it say they have so race shock lets get those....

Dunkinuts

I understand that but its not a hard or complicated process to put the yellow Konis in


i agree, and if i had the money then i would love to get their coilovers.

Eddie

i know its not difficult i've installed them before, cavaliers had to do the same thing, its just something i feel that shouldnt be necessary, charge an extra 100 bucks but make a direct replacment. **** they charge 1200+ bucks for yellows for the camaro, and i'm sure it costs the same to manufacture. so theyre making chunk's of money. **** i'd spend 600-700 on shocks/struts if they were direct replacment, actually probably not cuz that would be 900 bucks another 200 or so more and i can get B&G coilovers. but i just want a farly inexpensive shock, these look like theyre gonna be not much more then 300 for the set of 4, and they would complement the B&G springs i plan on getting.

if mike from B&G can pull some springs in getting an S2 suspension kit done for the balt i'd get those. who knows maybe Mr. Migz has some pull at Koni and can get something done?

Dunkinuts

that would be nice for a direct replacement

dman090

how much are the SRT.T's gonna be ???

alleycat58

Yeah, price is the main thing. Not everyone wants to pay ~$700 for the yellows when the orange (STR.Ts) are ~$300 for a full set.

It depends on the application. I was looking on the Honda del Sol application because they make both for it.

They're $141 for that, about half the price of the yellows. I'd guess IF they made them for the Cobalt and it was about the same cost ratio, they'd be about $175 for fronts, $160 for the rears.

Eddie

thank you someone see's the same thing i do. yeah should be around the $300, integra priced at less then 300. i'm just looking for more options, 300 for shocks + 200 for springs = 500 for a nice suspension setup.

dman090

so when are these things gonna come out?

Eddie

re read first post, we need to bug the **** out of them so they can make em for our cars. info provided in first post.

alleycat58

Yeah, I mean for someone who doesn't want the adjutability I think this is a fantastic option. If you're just going to be cruising around and want a little stiffer ride, they'd be fine and there's no sense in spending the extra money for functions you don't need.

originaladrian

id be down, ill give them a call and send an email later.

i couldnt care less about adjustability.

Dunkinuts

500 isn't a bad price, but anything under 1,000 is great for a full suspension change out.

****, if it will only cost $300 for a full set, I'm definitely going to be contacting them about it. I don't need adjustable settings as I'm not going to race my car. I was just want stiffer handling for turns.

I'll call them right now.

Eddie

exactly not everyone is going to race there cars every day. so this would be good for daily driving and some occasional drag or auto x.

I'm emailing them right now.

I lowered my car pretty much for appearance. I don't race because it's a 2.2L, I don't autox because being lowered puts me in a class I can't win anyways, so i don't care about the adjustability either.

$350-400 sounds so much nicer than like $600 and hacking up your stock struts.

Alright... add me name to the list of emails sent to them

I tried calling them, but I couldn't figure out who to speak to.

I'll email them right now.

If I were to race my car, I'd just buy coilovers.

Edit: I just submitted a contact form. I'll call them again tomorrow.

dman090

Not yet,

Lets see what happens after a few days.

[QUOTE=The STR.T line is aimed at older model vehicles. I do not see us having those for a while. As you stated we do have the Sport Yellow shocks.
