They have a special sleeve that mounts directly onto the shock body, you don't use a spring perch.

I have Koni Yellows on my ITR, and they worked great at VIR and for daily driving.

wow, Konis are so cheap for Hondas.. Enjoy them, racers compare them to Penske, Blistens, and Ohlins without the high price tag.

They go from cheap to very expensive if you get race valving.

i was comparing them to S13 and S14 prices, which are about 630 for a set of 4.

The higher end 86xx series ones are more expensive from the double adjustability and other features.

The valving actual itself is just a matter of an adjustment. I'm getting a pair of yellows custom valved to a spec spring rate, and the price isn't more than just a normal rebuild.
