If your worried about the warranty aspect of it you can email Jim Ryan at Koni, His email address is Jim.Ryan3@itt.com

and those shocks are worth every penny and some. Trust a brotha!

The choices I found from reading all the threads in the forum are the following :
1) Change the OE shocks by SRT8 OE shocks ... technicaly it is ok and makes sense .. but has anyone tried it ? does it really help ?
2) Change the OE shocks by KW sports dampers ( Not KW1 or KW2 ) , just sports dampers with the original car springs ... again has anyone tried this ?
3) Found Koni shock absorbers offered through only one vendor and not even mentioned in Koni's website or through any other supplier or source !! These are more expensive .. but I have worries to buy a product that even the producer denies that it produces it ! What will happen if doesn't actually fit the car or if anything goes wrong with any of these shocks ? what kind of warranty or guarantee would one expect ? Has anyone tried them with the original springs of the car ?
Your advise on any of the above would be highly appreciated guys ...

Check on Koni's website, it has been updated http://www.koni-na.com/index.cfm

These springs will lower the car about 10mm from stock, which isn't a lot. But they will increase the rate of the rear springs. The ride height of the various LX platforms varies, so if you wanted to measure your height compared to where you'd be with ours there is a how to on the spring page.


These are the Pedders GSR shocks that have much better valving than the OE parts do, they are non adjustable by knobs, but have auto adjusting valving to adjust themselves to road conditions.
