Default Koni Yellows SUCK

These stupid pieces of sh*t have screwed up on me 3 times now. The ring that holds the c-cup for the springs is ridiculously weak. I have no idea why I was stupid enough to stick with these things after the 2nd time it failed on me.

This is the third and the last time. I hope none of you ever buy these shocks. They're trash.

I would take a good look at the rest of your suspension to figure out what's going wrong, because those are excellent shocks.

I'm also surprised at this. I've heard nothing but great things about Koni Yellows. In the off-chance it IS a defective part, you should contact Koni about it - they might replace them for you free of charge...? You never know until you try.

Actually the Koni shocks are guaranteed virtually forever-period. IF you happen to not have gotten the C-clips in the grooes correctly or are indeed not properly placing the perch plate or cup over the ring-they can and will eventually pop out.
Koni makes things very easy for their customers-CALL THEM FOR FREE and talk to the experts. If they cannot solve your issue no one will.

I definitely take issue with your position on this excellent brand. WHY-because in over XX years I've NEVER had one fail on either a street car or our race cars. To go even further-I've never sent one in for repairs. They simply are the very best for my money. As I said before-factory support is also excellent.
