Description
The Koni STR.T (aka Koni Orange) is a non-adjustable shock that is essentially a Koni Sport (Yellow) set to full soft. It's a very high quality replacement for stock shocks that comes with a lifetime warranty. Shocks are an important factor in your car's handling and ride, and the stock non-Bilsteins only last about 30,000 miles before needing replacement. Even Bilsteins have a lifespan of under 100,000 miles - and these Konis will ride better than a set of functioning stock Bilsteins anyhow.
Because of their valving, we do not recommend these shocks for cars with aftermarket springs. They do not have sufficient damping to control a spring with a higher spring rate, and the car will pogo around as if it had bad shocks. For that use, we recommend the Koni Sport. If you have lowering springs that have close-to-stock spring rates (which we strongly recommend against), our shock mounts (below, choose the 10mm version) can help you get some travel back.
They will work with R Package springs, but may lead to a very slight decrease in ride height.
Includes a set of our Multicellular Urethane bumpstops, which will improve ride quality, travel and the ability to absorb mid-corner bumps. This is an exclusive upgrade only at Flyin' Miata!
Unlike the adjustable Koni Sport, the STR.T uses the same shaft design as stock so no modifications are required to the upper mount.
UPDATE!: KONI has updated the STR.T Shock body design since we filmed this video. It no longer offers adjustable perch heights on the NA shock body and now will feature a fixed height.

Flying Miata sent me four front shocks and when I called them about the problem, they were extremely helpful and took care of the problem very quickly ,will do business with them again.
Hi Bruce, sorry again about the mixup! But we really appreciate your patience and willingness to let us fix the issue. Thanks again for your order! 😃
These are an excellent upgrade for NAs with stock springs. Very comfortable ride, better control of roll and squat/dive. Definitely too soft for aftermarket springs, but perfect for me.
I purchased the complete kit and installed with new on My 96 NA shock tower mounts as suggested. Ride height was a slight drop from factory 1-2 inches. Directions for install were straight forward and i followed to a T. Ride is noticeably stiffer , but not uncompfortable - I highly reccomend for these who just want a good better than factory replacement without dramatically changing the suspension. Note -i did not have to drill the new stock top hats for these Koni Orange shocks - also , FM provides the suggested alignment figures - really helpful. You guys at FM are great , Many thanks - Jason Davinroy
Replacing the very tired stock shocks with this Koni kit, the Flyin’ Miata upper shock mounts, sway bars, and adjustable end links absolutely transformed my 1996.
Replaced my old blown out shocks with these as well as SuperPro bushings. Now the car drives like brand new!
