koni shocks

Babybenz

Has any one tried the adjustable Koni shocks? How does it compare with the Bilstein yellow sport shocks in terms of hardness?

I did, adjustable Yellow koni in my Punto at present. It only adjust the pull rate of the shock. So the compression rate is constant. I did not have experience on Bilstein, but some body said the yellow koni is more sporty. I have tried the most hardest setting of my koni, it is hard but still comfortable.

Thx Paul. If koni is more sporty / stiffner, I would prefer the bilstein because I would like more weight transfer to the front before the bend.

For your Lotus? or A4? MR and 4WD has its own character, have fun

A4 because the shocks are all worn out.

Babybenz, I think you should go for something that is fully adjustable (ride height + pre-load compression + adjustable camber + shock's bounce + re-bounce setting), although such setup will be more expensive, you will have significantly more fun in setting her up properly!

I would love to but have to face the reality of limited budget. Actually I am planning to replace all 4 shocks & front brake pads and uprate the size of front rotors funding by selling the 406. Either koni limited adjustable shocks or Bilstein shocks will be opted.
