KONI Adjustable Coilovers
Do any of you guys run Koni Adjustable Coilovers for your 1994 to 2001 Acura Integra GS-Rs? I'm assuming the LS, RS, SE models have all the same application. How does it ride on the street? Auto-Cross performance? How much did you spend on them? What class are you running in SCCA Solo?

Koni's are the best bang for hte buck I have them on my del sol and they were a huge improvment over the agx's I ran before and this is with off the shelf valving. If you are serious about autocrossing there is no better shock, as It is a lifetime shock, you can send them in to rebuilt/revalved chagned to doulbe adjustable or shortened, just about anyhting you want from koni.
EDIT - Ok I just relized you were talking about the koni coilovers, have not run them as most people just run koni yellows with ground control sleeves. But I have no doubt they are great, you should call Koni North America and as for Lee Grimes he can help you out.

Got this from Lee Grimes
The 1150 Koni coil-over kit is a ride height adjustable system meant to give good ride and handling for the street and light track and autocross use. They are not designed, valved or sprung to be really aggressive, hardcore raced, etc. The dampers are either high quality chrome plated or yellow painted depending on the model (all to be chromed soon) that generally are based on Koni Sports but often have slightly different lengths or valvings to work with the goals of the kits.
The springs are a Koni specced unit that are normally progressive rates based on a 60mm ID bottom and 60mm or stock ID top. We are generally not publishing the spring rates because the rates are specifically selected for the kit goals and are quite a bit lighter than what many people are regularly putting on with GC and similar sleeves systems and are used for racing.
If you are looking to run high spring rates on your car, I would suggest that you go with the Koni Sport or RACE and the Ground Control package. If you are looking for a good handling improvement with a wide range of height adjustability and good ride quality in addition to handling improvement for the street with the lifetime warranty, then the Threaded Suspension Kit will be an option.
