    Koni Query

    Can I run koni adjustable's on the back with standard (albeit nearly new) shocks on the front and standard springs?
    I'm presuming the koni's are shorter piston than standards so might be an issue running standard springs?
    Anyone got any advice?
    Cheers

    Yes you can do this, a common upgrade as it gives fantastic road holding with this combo

      great thanks Jamo, do you think that by keeping standard front shocks it might upset the balance though?
      I'm upgrading the rarb anyway, but was thinking that firmer back shocks would keep more weight to the front during cornering, which I suppose, will increase front end grip and give more oversteer (which is what I want)

          Hi. I replaced the front shocks recently with koni's. The shocks that came out were yellow bilsteins with very thick chrome shafts and drop limiters - were these standard on the S2?
