ITR,
i have 70K on my car....lowered since day one....so, maybe that's the equivalent duty of 100K with no lowering......
they're not leaking or anything, but 3 of the 4 do clunk, plus the car is very unsettled....no big deal.....i've wanted to get koni's for quite some time anyway....just never got around to it...until now, that is.

UGH...
went to get them installed saturday at usic's.....
had BOTH front stock shocks off the car and were in the process of putting the koni assemblies together.....realized that the stock upper spacer washers needed to be drilled to 12mm to accomodate the thicker koni shock shaft......they didn't have a 12mm bit and didn't want to do trial and error in the off-chance that the hole got too big.......
gotta go back tuesday or wednesday night....
mind you, all of this could have been averted if any of us had read the instructions

not sure for the S2000 application, but on my corrado and mustang, the overall stroke cycle was shorter (so i was told)
i assume it holds true across their "yellow" product line as most koni's are firmer than the given stock shocks that they would be replacing....i.e. generally speaking koni's are firmer than stock.
fyi, all koni yellows are adjustable for rebound......

So, you are going to use lowering springs with off the shelf konis, and you expect an improvement?? I don't know, those springs and shocks are not 'matched'. I would defintely go with either a suspension package , or simply not touch it. You may want to get it corner weighted if you get a chance.

please advise what springs are "matched" to koni's.....and where that information may be found.
thanks.
