shocks

[apintojr]

i'm looking into buy shocks. i was wondering if the kyb are the same deal as the koni with getting the fronts for a p11 and the rears from a maxima.

my other question is that u have to adjusts the koni before u put it on. i using ground control coil over sleaves and was wondring what is a good setup for the koni shocks

[Mrcoilover]

No its not the same deal b/c Koni don't make um. Only KYB makes da front 2. And thats it. KYB maxima rears. GC's are supposed to be with the GAB struts. Your best bet is mix-n-match. Acutally, since you already bought the GC's, that is your only choice. I like to find both springs and shocks/struts before I get suspension b/c sh*t like this happens. You would think somebody would make some muthafunkin struts.

Koni does make P10/P11 front shocks, I have 'em on my P11 with GCs. The front Konis also work with stock springs, no mods necessary! I believe the Koni front part number is 8040-1127, rear 8040-1242.
As to your other question, yes out of the box, the Konis will be too loose. I turned them about 2 full rotations in the front. You can do a little more in the rear and may want to if you are using the stock upper shock mounts.

You say they make rear. I see you have a part number for rears. Is that for P11?

[donsster]

Yes the rear 8040-1242 is for P11/Maxima/B14 Nissans. As far as I know, Koni does not make a shock to fit the US/NA P10 but maybe you could get a custom one done.

A lot of people (including myself) have been looking for a full setup. If you are correct, then big props. I could have sworn that they didn't.

koni's make the rear's mentioned in another thread
part #8040-1220
i called shox.com and they said it's listed as fitting a 95-98 sentra.
will these fit the P11? they're listed as $113 a piece.

so is a 95-98 sentra a B14 Sentra?????

I believe the ones that fit are the 95 maxima.

i've been told that the B14 sentra and maxima fit our P11.
is the 95-98 sentra a b14?

the maxima rear's will fit but the spring perch is higher than stock, most who have these maxima rears have Ground Control coilovers which can make up for the raise by just lowering it a little. so theirs only the p10 fronts for now...until koni develops their full kit for the p11
