Default Koni sport

What's up guys I had a question maybe someone on here can answer. I'm doing suspension on my Z and decided on going with Eibach sportlines and originally wanted to go with tokico d spec's but I've come to learn that they are discontinued same with the tokico blues which sucks for me, I was recommend kyb excel g and koni yellow's. I've looked at both and I was kinda leaning toward the koni but I've read that at times there's problem with the rear ones or that they leak oil. Anyone care to give me some knowledge on both of these? And Ive searched both on here but not enough info so hopefully someone has had some recent experiences with these.

Side note: I was leaning towards the koni's because they're adjustable like the d spec's but I did some lurking on here and some say it's not worth it. Any help is appreciated thanks.

I always thought that the Koni's were good value for money and haven't heard of the rear seals blowing out.

I've had Koni sport shocks on my street Z33 for years and never experienced any problems. They are only a single adjustable damper (bounce is set, rebound can be adjusted), but for an aggressive spring like the Sportline, that'll make little difference. Adjust 'em once to your liking and just leave 'em.

Samsniss350z: yeah most of the reviews are good just some say they leak oil or they at times don't pop back up like they should.

Dkmura: Cool thanks man

Koni 25% off straight from Koni right now. Just sayin.

My friend just bought some for his 2011 335is ... $650.

Even with discount, they are still like $850 for the 350Z. Figure that one out.

I wanted to go Koni with my Tein S Tech springs but ended up heading the coilover route for adjustability.

Don't forget about Bilsteins. Another option a lot of people like.
