Koni shocks. Any lower than standard?

[PBCup]

I want to fit koni shocks with sportlines. I've read good things about this setup but just wondering will it go lower than standard shocks with sportlines?

No overly bothered. The main purpose is the setup but it's nice have the looks as a by product.

Shocks dont lower the car, its the springs

The pistons might be a little shorter but it wont affect how the car sits.

Ofcourse shocks lower cars if the platforms are lower. I was wondering if the platforms were lower on konis

 

[PBCup]

By lower I mean the platforms are closer to where the shocker bolts to the car.

I have had koni shocks on mine and it wasn't any noticeably lower.

shocks don't lower cars, different spring height/ratios do that

Plus buy the konis from larkspeed they have a lifetime warranty at the moment on them

Yeah it will be from larkspeed.

But how can you say dampers don't change ride height? If the platforms are closer or further away from the hub then the ride height will be different.

I do only mean at the front on a 172 obviously. Sportlines with knonis or standard shocks will have the same ride height at the rear.

The platforms on the springs can't be much lower as they would foul the wheel then. Normally shocks are made in the same size as the standard ones.
