True Swede Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hey allI am considering getting the yellow Koni Sport shocks. I have read the reviews and the one big complaint there seem to be is the paint coming off during installation. Has someone had their shocks paint sealed? If so, any tips to adhere? And while I've got you on the hook, what's your experience on the Koni's?Thanx/True Swede Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sealing will not do anything to help that. Just be careful and use tape on your compressor jaws and you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrickw Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 i have a set of the koni yellows, adjustable all around.. i installed them myself and didnt have any problem with the paint coming off.. i frequently power wash them off (when im doing the rest of the car) and they still look like the day i installed them which was last july.. i highly reccomend them as they are the best you can get short of coil-overs which arent the best ride in town, hope this helps!Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
