KONI Adjustable Damping Sport Miata Shock- FRONT

DESCRIPTION

This is for one Koni SPORT shock for the FRONT of 99-05 Miata. This shock is missing all of the hardware and accessories that normally come with it. Good candidate for someone who already has these shocks and just needs a replacement and can therefore swap over the spring perch and other hardware from their old STR-T shock. This shock may not ship with the original packaging, but the shock itself is still brand new and never used.
Only one shock available at this price. All bargain bin sales are final.

Our original description for this item:

Miata shocks come in many flavors but these are our favorite Miata shocks. The most popular Miata shock for the last decade with Miata street users, autocrossers, and Miata track drivers alike. Includes adjustable damping from firm to soft so you can dial the balance you want between ride and handling.

These Koni Miata shocks always seem to work just a little better than the KYBs. Unlike the KYB's you don't get that "squish-squish" noise from the valving with these. Priced per shock... Long an autocross champ from coast to coast (over the years KONI has been on the top at nationals in the Miata more than any other choice). Yes, you do need to drill out the top OEM mounts from 10 to 12mm to complete installation...see our tech page for installation!

Price is PER shock. If you need two, order two!

INSTALLATION NOTE: You need to drill factory top mounts from 10mm to 12mm to install these adjustable shocks.

Damping adjustment tip: As with all Konis, the adjustment on the top of the shock to change from soft to firm is opposite from most other shock makers. With Konis, CLOCKWISE = Softer, and COUNTER-CLOCKWISE = Stiffer.
All Koni shocks ship set to the full-soft position. Shocks should not be driven/used when up "against the wall" of full-soft or full-hard. Therefore an important part during assembly is to turn the adjusters off of that full soft position, ensure smooth motion of the knob, and then set them to the position you desire. Note this is easier to do AFTER you have the shock and spring assembled as it can be difficult to hold the shock shaft in place and keep it from spinning with your hand before you have things assembled. If you want the shocks at full-soft, turn the knob all the way clockwise gently until you hit the wall, and then turn the knob counter-clockwise 1/8th turn or so that the shock is within its operating window. Similarly, if you want full stiff, turn the knob counter-clockwise until you find the wall at full stiff and then bring it back 1/8th turn or so. Never drive the car with the shock adjustment jammed against either end of the adjustment range.
