Koni sports vs KYB AGX MR2/Camaro combo

[Jib05]

So I've been reading about the KYB AGX MR2/Camaro combo, and it sounds really good. A whole 2 inches shorter up front, perfect for sectioning or using a 48x1.5 tap from work to re-thread to use coil overs. Easy to adjust dampers.

But the question is, how do they compare to Koni sports? Do i sell my Konis and get this KYB combo?

What does R3v think?

Cheers!!

Bump.
I'm interested in this set up as well.
There a write up for the mr2 setup?
Though I doubt it would be better then your Koni setup.

The point behind the KYB MR2/Camaro combo is to reduce cost of an adjustable set-up. I doubt it will be as good or better than the Koni set-up

Exactly what he said^

Thanks guys! Looks like I'm building coil overs with the konis. Have a spare pair of 51mm shocks. Am i right that 550F/650R would be best for them? I do DD the car, but only 3mins worth of driving a day (I live 3mins drive to work :D).

550 up front is likely too high for off the shelf konis. I'd do 450 max.

Not valved correctly for that sort of spring rate? I was told 550 because of the extra weight of the m50.

Recommend Upgrade to a thicker sway bar and strut mount like the m3?

i prefer kyb agx over koni, but that's coming from an ae86. not the bimmer world.
