Koni Street Shocks

[andyk134]

Hi, looking for some advice.

My Lexus is now nearly 10 years old and I would imagine the shocks are getting a bit tired.

I dont want to go too hard so have been looking at the Koni Street ones that are just a bit stiffer than standard but not all the way to the sport ones. It is only £260 to get a full set which i didnt think was expensive even compared to standard ones and with Koni's reputation it seemed the best option as it is just my daily driver and most is just going to work and back!

Has anyone else tried them? I have Eibach springs, roll bars and spacers so just upping the shocks a bit i thought would be a good idea.

Thanks for your help.

Haven't tried them but I remember hitting google about those orange Koni's when I was in the market for new shocks and a lot of the user reviews I found were pretty negative.

Thanks for the heads up, if you were going to uprate the shocks, what would you choose?

Probably Bilstein or Koni Sport if money was no object.

I thought about getting those but, apart from the cost, I was a bit concerned how stiff they would be as I mostly just use my car to commute to and from work. Went with OEM-spec replacements (KYB) in the end.

That was why i was looking at the Koni Street as they are softer than the sport or Bilsteins but a bit more than standard and not too expensive.
