Just wanted to make sure I have my info correct(Koni suspension) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I am wanting to use the Koni Yellow inserts/Ground Control setup on my S14. Just wanting to make sure know of everything I will need.

-Koni yellow inserts (I need the part number)
-ground control coilovers with my choice of springs
-some sort of pillowball upper mounts

-And I need my stock strut housings front and rear, correct?

How low will I be able to go with this setup? Can I go lower by mounting the inserts lower in the strut housing? (I know this setup isn't for slamming the car, that's not what I'm looking for, just seeing if it's a possibility).

I have never experienced this type of suspension (using the stock strut housing/aftermarket struts).

Basically I am wanting the bottom line on everything I will need and what kind of height adjustability I will have.

Thanks!

i had koni/GC's on my maxima and it dropped it more than 3". Could have gone even more

Handle nice for a bigger car

The rear is a bolt up shock and the front you will need to use your stock housing.

In order to do the front the "right" way you will need someone to weld a ring around it and remove the factory spring seat. (see 10 page ground control thread for pics)

is there a place youd recommend getting it done at? Possibly shipping it off having it all done then getting all back at the same time?

Tim is working on a Bilstein setup. veilside180sx is the man when it comes to custom Koni housings.
