Thread: Koni Sport Shocks for Mazda3 and Mazdaspeed3

  1. Default Koni Sport Shocks for Mazda3 and Mazdaspeed3

    Hey Guys,

    I got some inquiries about Koni Shocks. I will double check but there are applications for both gen1 and gen2. Pricing is the same for both generations.

    Here's some info for you that don't know anything about Koni.



    KONl has been in business for over 150 years, involved in automobile dampers since 1932 and has produced adjustable tele scopic dampers since 1945. In addition, though known best for cars, KONl also builds shocks for trucks, buses, RVs and railway rolling stock.What this adds up to is well-earned design and manufacturing experience. As the maker of the industry`s very first adjustable shock absorber, electronic drag racing shocks, and today`s patented FSD (Frequency Selective Damping) street shocks, KONl has long demonstrated that product improvement means product innovation. As a niche maker of high-performance shocks, KONl is small enough to interactwith its customers on a regular basis, even having a Tech Line staffed every working day with KONl technicians, many of whom are car enthusiasts just like you.What this means is that you receive the personal attention missing in most product businesses today.
    Why the industry`s first adjustable shock absorbers are still the best:
    * World renowned handling performance
    * Excellent choice for multi use cars (Street, Autocross, Track, etc.)
    * Best KONl shock for all lowering springs
    * Some applications servicable for custom setups
    * Streetable ride quality
    * Lifetime Warranty
    * External rebound adjustment on most cars
    * Superior handling control
    * Compliments other vehicle upgrades


    Pricing and Applications:
    Full Set: $705 + shipping
    Front Pair: $432 + Shipping
    Rear Pair: $320 + Shipping

    Please contact me with your vehicle, year, and postal code and i'll get you shipping cost and ETA

    FSD Pricing - Full sets ONLY
    Gen1 Mazda3 - $780
    Gen1 MSP - $750
    Gen2 Mazda3 - $765
    Gen2 MSP - $787.50

    Feel free to try mine this weekend Sam. FSD with stock springs.

    I'd pick a quality shock/spring combo over Coilovers anyday, unless you track your car often. Even then I see little point.

    And also, if you lower your car, I'd always fit new shocks, Mazda ones are rubbish. If you can't afford to, then wait until you can. Shocks should be precedence over springs.
    Lower springs will wear the already rubbish shocks out faster, so who do pull the suspension out twice?
    Do the job once and do it right.

    Aight I may as well get a quote and compare.

    I have read though that the fronts can make the car sit a little bit higher, apparently the plate that has the bolt going through it is welded a little bit lower than the OEM shocks. I wonder if I took come measurements of my blown shocks and someone else doing the same with their Koni yellows to see if there truly is a difference, and bust this online myth....

    Anyways could you send me a quote for shipping to 3168 they're for an 06 MPS3???

    Also do you have them in stock ready to go???

    Cheers!

    Unless something has changed since i researched them to death, the Koni FSD is NOT suitable with lowered springs. Their function depends on their travel. They are a much longer shock than the OEM ones. They might work, but not work as well as they should and could/will lead to failure.
    With lowered springs i wouldn't consder anything other than Koni Sport or Bilstein B8
