KONI Sale on TireRack

[Mizzle]

Just a heads up - 20% off Koni products 'til 05.31.11.

2100-4045's for under $600 shipped, for example.

[Matrix311]

dang that sucks, i just bought mine

[JNR5005]

The Sports are $544.37 shipped to me which is the cheapest I've seen yet. Right front isn't going to be in stock until the end of the month it looks like.

[R.MS3]

I bought mine at that price of $540 shipped, the new ones. You guys should hurry and buy it before it takes 3 months to get them. They will take even longer to get here now with the promotion.

[IMASA]

Thanks for the heads up, just ordered a set.

[dot584]

So since there not listed under mazdaspeed 6 do we order the mazda 6 ones or which model exactly do we order? There are like 5 different mazda 6 listed.

[Mizzle]

They exclude MS6' from their listing.

[secretSQUIRRE1]

kool beans! thx for the heads up

[bombdotcom]

good stuff. thats a long time for a promotion!
would those work well with eibach prokit springs? i dont know a whole bunch about suspension, but im not really happy with just the springs. i feel like i bottom out on any lil pot hole or speed bump. or atleast it sounds that way.

i saw a how to on here, are they all that hard to install? hardest ive installed is a DP i think

[R.MS3]

^^ You're using Eibach's with the stock struts? Oh boy... the stock struts can BARELY hold on with the stock springs. I can only imagine your ride quality.

Koni YELLOWS would work well with your Eibachs. Koni FSD's are meant for stock springs only. I recommend the SOFTEST setting for the Yellows, plenty firm and the ride quality is the best. I got the new "ms3-specific" ones and they're awesome. Easy to install the back set, more effort for the fronts.

Search on what else to buy before installing a new suspension.

[Mizzle]

R.MS3 - WTF is going on in your avatar?

Also, Koni Sports + springs, otherwise stock height is required. It's not so much the spring as it is the lack of travel for the FSD's.

my car was actually the test car for the eibach prokit. lol i askd him about struts when they were doing the r&d but he said they would be fine.

whats the best spring combo for the konis? do u have alink to the ms3 specifics? gettin my tax return soon and really wanting to do something about my suspension. i shouldnt need anything besides camber arms right?

[QUOTE=Mizzle;718492]R.MS3 - WTF is going on in your avatar?

+1

[Mizzle]

.... Did you go to TireRack like an adult and put in your car?... or go to Koni's US website where it takes 4 seconds to find the part number?

We already told you to get Koni Sports (yellows,) with your springs.

[R.MS3]

My avatar? lolz. I have no idea about specifics but it's WWE and the tough guy's face when he gets scared is priceless. Thought it was funny haha.

Anyway, Koni came up with "new" MS3-specific suspension like 6 months back. Before, we used the same as the regular 3 suspension, which didn't work too well for our cars. Look up at Koni's website for right part # and order at Tire Rack.

And if you said it yourself that your car bottoms out, it's because your springs ate up the stock struts. They're just too soft and shitty for our cars, that's why Mazda upgraded it for the 2010up models.

i apreciate u not being a total fuck like the guy before u. i did look at tire rack, just didnt see the yellows. i looked up under ms3, they might not even offer them. i wouldnt mind switching springs, just wanted to know what would mate up good with the struts on sale. appreciate the help buddy

[dizwhoadayjohn]

So can someone confirm if the part # 8741 1490 Fronts and 8040 1354 Rears are the correct MS3 specific shocks?

Actually, you did ask, so don't be a fuck-head and act all butt-hurt that we're not your internet shopping bitches. I'm not being a 'fucking tough guy,' so I have no idea what that means given the context. You and I both know you didn't look shit up on TireRack because you'd have to be a window-licking paint-chip eating shit-faced retard to not be able to navigate their site.

How about you do the fucking work yourself?

Hang on, I'll get the stroller. I think the bottles are still in the daiper bag:



Is that better? Now stop thread-jacking with "can you give me suspension advice when I don't know my head from my ass," and enjoy the sale now that I walked you to it.

haha actually i wasnt talking to u at all, i was talking to r.ms3. and i did look at tirerack, there arent any koni yellows there u ignorant fuck. im not the guy to have people do the work for me, but when i need some help i will fucking ask, not to get shit from a worthless piece of shit like u. idk why people like u feel so inclined to be a smart ass cunt. this forum is here to help eachother out.

and u havent done shit for me but piss me the fuck off. if i knew a fuck like u on real life this conversation wouldnt of gone this far. and no that is not me trying to be a tough guy.

[Mizzle]

lol wow.
First off, did you really just quote my picture?

Anywho...

...... So, since you're continuing to troll my thread and jack it to Hell & back, how about you explain to me something.

In fact, you can use my picture since you quoted it to post it twice.
If there aren't any Koni 'Yellows,' on TireRack, what are all the red arrows pointing at?

[bombdotcom]

haha how am i "trolling" your thread? honestly bro ur not worth the energy to move my fingers to give a legit response. ill direct my energy towards someone who actually wants to be mature and help.

[Mizzle]

Did you really just call me bro?
... do you spike your hair and pump your fist, too?

Anyways, you can't brush off the fact that you look like a stupid tool.. especially after saying I'm not worth a legit response after how stupid you made yourself look just above.

You're a lazy faggot who talks shit about maturity after:
a.) asking us to find the parts for you,
b.) saying the parts aren't there to prompt us to prove you're wrong (aka achieve your original goal of having us do the work for you,)
c.) insinuating that if we had this conversation in person and I made you look as stupid in real life as I did in this thread, you'd beat me up.

Who's the internet tough guy again?

p.s.
If you're not trolling, why do you keep responding? You got your answer so now you can fuck off.

HAHAHA OKKKKKKKKK

[dot584]

Chillax

Thanks for the pic, tho. I wasnt sure what model to get since I looked and I couldnt find it either.

[R.MS3]

Geez people, Koni Yellows=Koni Sports. Just a different way to call it since.... they're yellow!!

Kthxbye

[aviator79]

I want some. Wonder if I could get these to work with my BCs. Or I will sell the BCs and need to buy springs (wish I could get some RPM K-specs) and somones junked OEM fronts...well I guess I have time to decide unless they got OOS forever. Also it is charging me tax in CT. That is BS.

[Lee]

Although you can certainly buy from Tire Rack and they have some of the best customer service and stock on hand of anyone in the US, the "20% off Shock Value" is nationwide through any KONI retailer. Additionally, orders on the MS3 and all other applications have been increased to hopefully improve availability and reduce backorders.

As mentioned before, KONI Sports are the model of KONI dampers that are painted yellow and often called KONI Yellows. They are the exact same thing. If you are using lowering springs like the Eibachs or BCs mentioned above, use the Sports instead of the FSDs.

Well im not sure how I would incorporate these into the BC COs, unless I can cut the BCs open just like the OEM ones? I will have to go ask over on 6crew cause they were the ones saying the BCs were OK, but the struts were junk so the replaced them with Koni’s and then they were great.

Im not finding them cheaper anywhere else.

[Haltech]

stop the senseless bickering in this thread. I mean, really, is it necessary?

[Lee]

I am sorry but I was picturing a traditional type, fixed perch lowering spring and did not realize that it is a coil-over kit that you were talking about. There really is not going to a realistic way to incorporate the KONIs into you BC coil-over kit on the front. Since the MS3 rear shock is stand alone from the spring and height adjuster (should be but I haven't seen the BC system in case they did something really odd), then you could use a rear shock but not the front.

Selling the coil-overs and moving on to a standard type lowering spring with a good reputation for engineering and some KONI Sports will probably give you the better all around package.

[JNR5005]

Anyone know if any other Koni retailers have these in stock? I want to cancel my order through tirerack.com because they are saying May delivery. I was going to try calling protege garage tomorrow and see if they would price match if they even have them.

[justint5387]

Don't order from Protege Garage. I would try TH Motorsports.

[JNR5005]

Fuck, why? I just ordered from Protege Garage, he said he would price match.

[R.MS3]

Because it usually takes 2.5 years to arrive at your door...

[JNR5005]

Well he said he had them in stock now, and was going to process the order tonight, so I don't see why there should be a delay.

[driver311]

I just put koni yellows on my car. Even fully stiff they could be stiffer autocross. I like the way it is fully stiff on the street. I might need to got back to eibach sportline springs now. I put the h&r's on there because the eibachs were to stiff on stock struts. Now with the konis I can soften it up for the street. They do feel better than stock for sure.

[JNR5005]

Just got my shocks from PG. The part numbers on the shocks are that of the regular3. Are these valved differently for my car or did they send me the wrong shocks? Konis on PG site

[Mizzle]

Wrong shocks.
That explains why they were in stock.

[aviator79]

note that we are looking for 25 MS6s to get RPM Kspec shocks so they will make another batch. These are made for these shotks. Go to Mazda6club.

Thanks for that piece of nothing-to-do-with-my-thread.

Go drink a big cup of shut the fuck up.
