Default Experience with Koni Shocks

I'm thinking about getting a set of Koni shocks for my car. I'm already lowered on Espilar springs. Anyone have any experience with these shocks? Good things or bad things?

You can't go wrong with Koni , and you really can't go wrong if they set them up fro your springs http://www.truechoicekoniracingservices.com/

If I remember correctly those rear springs are very aggressive, what was your preference based on?

Honestly, I do not see the point of using Koni's given your spring choice.

I would run Tokico D-specs.

Otherwise I'd kick the progressive Espilar's to the curb and either run S-techs or you can do what I did below.

Custom Koni front sprig seats (easy to fab out of 1/4" 6061
Tein tapered front springs 448lbs (linear)
Oem 427lbs rear springs on cut down oem upper spring seats
setup yields about a .8" drop
