Koni yellows have the adj. perches.. dunno about the others...

what's a good coilover cost that does all the standard adj. plus damper adjustments?

I think i paid under 1200 for my koni+eibach setup over a year ago.

Lemme clarify a few things here:

Koni's perch adjusts about 1". It's only intended purpose is for corner weight balancing, yet it does offer this 1" adjustment and can be used for aesthetics as well.

Adjustable dampening is done from the shock or strut. This makes the ride harder or softer.

A coilover, sleeve-over or coilover sleeve allow the height of the car to be adjusted via variable height, threaded spring perches (typically about 3" of range). A coilover may or may not also use adjustable dampers.

Not all Koni's have the adjustable perches because the ones that I'm probably going to get for my Scion don't.

I think that I paid just under a grand for the Tein SS setup that I had ..... about 4 years ago ..... before gasoline drove up the price of our mods!!!


NOTE: If you want the EDFC control system, you have to get the Tein SS-P setup, not the SS.

A heavy @$$ sedan pulling a 0.9G turn isn't that bad.

I also had Comptech sways, ingalls control arm camber adjustment, Neuspeed strut bar, rear tie bar and ultra high performance all season tires.
