Has any used koni str-t suspension on a v6 sport

[v6 galant]

Hi all looking to update my suspension on my car its done 88,000 now i am looking at the koni str-t (street) shocks with h&r springs .
Has any one used this system on there galant / legum
Any help would be much *****

[crazydriver81]

these are the former "Koni red" series - which is a replacement for std. parts. These are not adjustable in stiffness (while the yellow ones are).

If you don't want to have performance items, these will make a good composition with the H&R springs and the comfort of the car will be kept. Hope that helps.

Or may be tein springs that are on camskill web site

[v6 galant]

Not sure about which spring to use with the koni street shocks

1 h&r springs
Or 2 tein springs

Help not sure can I get some help here

[v6 galant]

Thank u for all the help club vr4

[crazydriver81]

Depends on your personal taste. Honestly, I haven't ever noticed a real difference amongst lowering springs. I'd go for H&R springs, as they let the car sit nicely. The Tein springs are made for the VR-4 which is heavier as the V6.

Hi will 18 x 7.5 wheel with 225/40/18

Work well with this koni kit

On my V6 I've seem to got a set of these. Don't know the brand of the lowering springs. Feels much better compared to standard shocks though but not as firm and planted as the TEIN's I have on the VR2.

So will they fit ok with 18x7.5 with 225/40/18

[MarkSanne]

I don't see a fitment issue at all with those wheels/tires. I use 17x7 with 225/45/17.

So will they fit ok with 18x7.5 with 225/40/18

It depends on the offset. I'd guess 38-45 offset no problems. Lower and the tyre might catch the wheel arch, higher and the tyre might catch the hub carrier.

Wheels are

Jay, a bit of patience is requiered. Not everyone is online always and sometimes People with the correct knowledge are some days off.

But hey... Happy New Year!

Back to your request. There is a thread on here, dealing with wheel fitment (offset, diameter, width). Please use the search function and you'll find everything you are looking for. The wheels described should Not have any fitment issues.

Hi all

Right Ive got my h&r spings now.
I am Still not sure witch one to go for the koni shocks

1. S.t.r.t
Of the
2. Sports

Anyone ......??

[crazydriver81]

depending on what you are after. Yellow ones (sport) can be adjusted in stiffness / red ones not. In general, the red ones are meant as an O.E. replacement. The y4llow ones should give a "sporty touch" which means that they are a bit stiffer from factory. Plus they feature a possibility to move the lower spring carrier to 3 different position AFAIK.

If you are afraid of fitment issues with H&R springs plus your wheels, I'd go for the yellow ones.

[v6 galant]

Ok thank you for your help

I was thinking about Koni shocks and Eibach springs but now I'm confused as you recommend H&R! Which ones are better? I would like to lower suspension just a bit... 30mm front and 20mm rear maybe, just to make it look nicely sat. There is factory setup on the car at the moment and it's awfuly high. What do you think guys?
