I see a lot of Koni Red bashing. Are they worse than what my F41 car came with stock? All I want is a car that handles better than stock F41.

 

There is nothing inherently wrong with Koni Reds, and they will be better than any stock shock that come on our cars.

Koni Reds only get bashed on performance when compared to Koni Yellows, which don't cost any more than Reds do and have stiffer valving.

 

Am I hearing you say that you still have the STOCK 15-YEAR-OLD shocks on your car??? If so, those haven't done A SINGLE THING in at least the last 12 years, except consume fuel from hauling around their dead weight, and maybe rattle a little bit; least of all, absorb any shocks.

Ummm, yeah..... the others will work better. Doesn't matter what the others are, they'll work better. Anything is better than stock shocks that are more than 1 year old or have more than about 5000 miles on them.

 

I do not know if they are original or not. I'm just wondering if the reds would be better than what my car was like when it was new. My car has 170K, so I hope they're not original...wouldnt be surprised though.

 

You will be very happy with reds if you get them.

 

Its late, so I may just be reading this wrong, but are you saying that stock replacement shocks should be replaced yearly?
