first off, i just stumbled upon this site.....and im very impressed.

im riding on the Koni RSK kit, and i love it.
when i first saw it on www.tirerack.com, i was very interested.
i hadnt heard anything about it, and i called a few local Koni dealers. even they hadn't heard of it.
i like the fact that the springs and shocks were "matched" , kinda like coil overs. this took all the guess work out of picking a spring and shock combo.
i couldn't find anybody else that was using this set up, so i decided to give it a chance. i liked the price, i liked the brand names, and i like the fact that it was original.

now, if you're looking for a suspension set up purely for the track, don't get this. my car is a daily driver, and practically live in my car, so i wanted a ride that wasn't really stiff and harsh. i would say the ride is "medium" harsh.

this kit totally changed my whole car. no more wheel hop/skip, when im cornering on a bumpy road, and the squat and dive are greatly reduced. there is still some body roll, but the S/T sway bars im getting soon should take care of that. the springs seem to be progressive. they are not too stiff when taking slow turns, but when you really push them hard, they push back hard.

If you're looking for a suspension set up that will greatly enhance your driving experience without the extreme drop and bumpyness of a track set up, then this kit is for you. This kit is perfect for a daily driver, as it only dropped my car about 1.5'', but it still givesthe car a nice stance, and got rid of the hideous wheel gap. There are three perches on the shocks. I have my front shocks set on the lowest, and the back ones set on the middle perch. This was to make the car look a little "raked". Also, on 4th gen, the wheel gap is always much bigger in the front.

here's a pick of it installed:
