RedShift/Koni Suspension

Testimonial (from Randy C.)

Right now I have the [RedShift/Koni] yellows with sportlines and the ride is superb. I have the [RedShift/Koni] yellows a half a turn back from max firm. As of yet they have given me no problems, are super quiet, and have not bottomed out from any of the potholes or uneven surfaces in my area. Even the launch from a dead stop is much improved. You have a great product and you seem like a great group of people. Best of luck to you in the future.

RedShift/Koni Sport "Yellow" Shock Kit

for your 2006+ Civic Couple and Sedan (all except Hybrid model)

About RedShift/Koni Sport "Yellow" Shocks

Widely considered the best street performance shock on the market, these Koni Sport "Yellows" are adjustable in rebound only so you can control the mass of your car in transitions without negatively affecting the ability of the shock to let the tire keep traction and without being harsh. The best street shock is also at home on the track where it's increased rebound valving offers superior traction and control than any of it's competitors. Just ask around and see what others say...those who know will tell you Konis are the way to go on any performance street car ! ! !

FRONT SPORT

STRUT INSERTS

The RedShift/Koni front strut insert is the Koni Sport "Yellow" originally design for the VW Corrado. It is perfectly suited to this application because of it's heritage on the Corrado. The insert is installed into the stock strut housing here at RedShift. The pricing below includes all required fabrication. We even offer a "core" exchange so that you may receive a full kit, ready to install, and then you simply send your front strut housings back to us to receive your core deposit back in cash. Or, you may keep your original strut housings and forfeit the core charge. See options below.

REAR SPORT SHOCKS

The RedShift/Koni rear shock is the Koni Sport "Yellow" originally designed for the 1995-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse. It's perfectly suited to the 2006+ application because of it's heritage as the rear shock on a similarly sporty FWD sport compact (with almost exactly the same rear suspension design). These shocks are also a few millimeters shorter than the stock shocks; so the overall dimensions and stroke are both perfect for this application (this was a very important consideration in choosing the right shock for this application). Lastly, the static upward force the shock provides the 18 lbs, the same as stock; so this will not change the ride-height of your configuration relative to stock.

The 2 pictures above show the rear shock with separate adapter on top and then with the adapter installed on the bottom.

The single adjustable RACE shock is a revalved version of the Sport Shock.

The double adjustable RACE shock is a revalved and lengthened version of another off-the-shelf Double Adjustable RACE shock.

RedShift Height Adjustable "Coilover Kits"

for your 2006+ Civic Couple and Sedan (all except Hybrid model)

About RedShift Adjustable Height Coilover Kits

We have gone to great lengths to make the best coilover setup available to be used with Koni shocks. The shock/spring packages are listed below as well. These are not a universal kit that we buy from overseas; rather each part is design and manufactured specifically for the 2006 Honda Civic.

FRONT COILOVER

The top cap that holds the insert into the housing is integrated with the coilover sleeve. This picture shows the stock lower spring perch still attached, but in production, this is always removed because the collar sits where the stock perch is located.

This is a little bit closer shot of how the collar cap sits on the insert and holds it in. It's an extremely strong and well engineered design that will last forever on your vehicle.

Here is our front upper mount conversion that is included with every coilover suspension package. It's a trick aluminum CNC piece that takes the place of 1/2 the stock strut bearing. It comes complete with 2 O-rings for sealing and holding the assembly together properly. This is what allows us to use a longer spring in front than the competition, for more travel.

REAR ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT COLLAR

The rear collar sits in the upper spring perch location and is fastened by a Nutsert (see right-most picture).

2006+ Honda Civic Coupe and Sedan (all)
NOTE: All RedShift/Koni shock/suspension packages require fabrication on the stock front strut housings. PRICES BELOW NOW INCLUDE THIS FABRICATION (we now weld a threaded piece on and normalize to heat treat rather than threading the stock body). The only option you have is that RedShift can provide used housings for $180 so you don't have to send your front struts to us (leaving your car out of service). You will receive the complete suspension so you can bolt your new suspension right on!!! That $180 charge is fully cash refundable if you return your old housings (like a core charge) or keep them and forfeit the $180. Please note that only Civic Si housings will work because non-Si housings have too large an outer diameter for our threader; so our core refund only applies to Si housing returns. If you have a non-Si model, you may still use the Si housings as they bolt right up to your non-Si Civic. Now available for Si and non-Si front strut housings!!!! so no need to find Si housings for your non-Si! :)

NOTES as of 2/11/09:

In front, the Koni strut shaft is larger than the little stock one and a washer in the upper mount needs to be drilled out (direction are supplied). For coilovers, we provide a spring adapter so your 2.5" coilover springs sit properly onto the stock top strut bearing.

We've been looking into camber plate designs, and I was disappointed by the K-Mac design and I don't know of a good reasonable alternative.

Another noteworthy thing about our setup is that the housing design (modified stock housing btw) is the same on the for the Koni Reds, Koni Yellows, Koni SA Race, and Koni DA Race!!! That's important because it means once your housings are modified, any of the front strut insert options will fit perfectly; so you can upgrade with very little effort. The rear shock is not a coilover design and doesn't have a housing; so it's not an issue in back... it's also very easy to change the rear shocks (takes about 5 minutes for us).

(NEW) The front housings are modified with a cap that is threaded inside and outside. We use a modified, threaded weldment to modify the front strut housing. The we tighten our coilover collar onto it...with the strut insert installed. We will remove the stock front lower spring perch for our coilover setup so that a 6" spring may be used (anything less becomes a suspension travel issue). It's a very simple setup that is neat and strong!!! ~~We can only use Civic Si housings as the non-Si housings area little bit too big an outer diameter for our 2.00"-18 threader tool.~~ I am pleased to say that we can now use non-Si housings (which means we can modify the housings of any 2006+ Honda Civic now)!!

The rear height adjustable spring perch system from RedShift uses a top mounted sleeve and perch that uses a Nutsert in the upper mount to fasten it to the car's frame (the Nutsert and install tool are included). We decided that it was too important for us to provide the best safety level we can, and several other rear setups we have seen allow the spring and/or adjustment hardware to easily come off the car at full droop while jacked up in the air. Now we are aware that it would be an unusual circumstance that a spring would come loose during normal use, but we do think it's possible; so our design incorporates the Nutsert fastener for safety.

We are confident that RedShift/Koni suspension is the best suspension option on the market with significant modularity (can upgrade without changing hardware)!

Don't wait..... order yours today!!!

FURTHER ADVICE ON PERFORMANCE HANDLING FOR YOUR 2006+ HONDA CIVIC!

The advice I've given a few people already is that the RedShift suspensions will all work better with a rear swaybar and RedShift Reinforcement Brackets. This is no different than any suspension packages, but running a rear bar allows you to run lower rates in the back, and that allows for a great daily driver that can hit the track and be fast. And lastly, the #1 problem on the new Civic is the lack of camber adjustment in front; so I HIGHLY recommend a set of 2 aftermarket camber bolts for the front of the car (1 per side) to give yourself more like 1.1-1.5 degrees negative. The more the better. If this were a trailered track car, we'd be running around 3.0 degrees negative; so 1.5 deg is better than 1.1 deg, but the more camber you put in, the more your tires will wear on the inside. The harder you drive, the more camber you should put in because you may already have found that you tend to wear out the outside of the tire with so little camber. I would start with 1.25 degrees negative camber on any setup and see how that works. You'll be blown away with how much better your car handles at the limit with more camber!

Ingalls P/N 35420 = ± 1° adjustment (1 bolt per box at about $11 each)..... need to purchase 2 of these for 1 bolt per side. This is probably all you want to run on a daily driver unless you are ok with reduced tire life).
Ingalls P/N 81260 = ± 2° adjustment (2 bolts per box at about $22 each)......need to purchase 2 of these for 2 bolts per side. More performance but reduced tire wear. Only do this if you really care about the last tenth of a second at the track.
