I'd like to take a look at some of that stuff...
It's not that I don't trust what you're saying, Solracer, as I've seen your other posts around here and you seem like a knowledgeable person, I'm just looking for some evidence to back up this information.
Yes I do they are in the stickie on the top of the suspension forum on the "Other" Honda Board. D2's, Omni's, Kports and Tiens for that matter are not 36 Way adjustable, they are double adjustable shocks when you adjust them they adjust rebound and compression, and they have 36 posistions of adjustment for rebound and compression. Koni's are single adjustable, and have infinite positions between full soft and full hard, there are no clicks or posistions and you can truly fine tune the shocks with the adjustments. When adjust a Koni you are adjust compression, this tied with the digressive valveing( which means the amount of damping force is not linear in the relation to the shock absorber's piston speed. ( gleaned from the latest Grassroots motorsports Mag), mean that event the slightest adjustments can have big effects on a car no matter what speed it is going or how rough/smooth the surface is.
Koni's and Eibach springs both have lifetime warranty's. Konis Yellows can also be revalvedm, shortened and even converted to double adjustable. Which means if you get to a point where you need more shock, you can send them in and have the rebuit, so when you buy Koni Yellows you should never need another shock, unless you get into some serious road racing.
As you can tell I am a big fan of Koni, for the price they are really a great bargin, Most of the other "JDM" Offerings do not offer simual performanec unti you get into the Tein N1 Range.
