Picked this up off the Evolution mail list. I'm sure we have our own suppliers, but I wanted to credit the guy who posted it there. I also wasn't entirely sure which forum to put it in. It may more properly belong in Under the Hood?

"List prices are not the sales price. You are generally looking at a sales price of about $135 for shocks that list @ $190. About $150-155 for shocks that list at $218.

"Just an FYI. I know there are folks waiting patiently for them.

finally! i saw the prototype Konis in action at Neuspeed's facility almost a year ago. The S2000 the Koni engineer and Neuspeed's rep drove was from the Honda media pool, and they drove that car with the Konis to the limit. I was actually very impressed how fast they took a 90 degree corner (faster than i would ever dare, that's for sure).

calc,

Thanks for the info! I am going to have to check with Comptech later on to find out if their coil-over sleeves will fit over the Koni shocks.

Oh well...I guess I am stuck with the stock shocks...which really isn't a bad thing anyway.

Thanks for the info cdelena!

Actually, Koni should build the shock to accept the stock spring perch just like they do on many other shocks, in which case our collars will fit just fine.

A very good point I just passed over because of my Koni situation. If Koni actually makes them specifically for the S2K there is a good chance they will mount the perch the same way. If that is the case the Comptech units will work perfectly. Sorry I get very focused sometimes.

The Comptechs will probably fit. I used to own a Civic, with Neuspeed race springs. I then purchased the Koni adjustable shocks, and the Neuspeeds fit fine. Then I later got the Skunkworks adjustable springs, and they fit fine on the Konis. Although its not the same car, I'm sure Koni makes their shocks to accept factory springs, which all aftermarket springs/adj springs are made after.
