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 for the original purchaser (US/Canada only). 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 and handle better than a set of functioning stock Bilsteins anyhow, especially the 2006-12 ones.
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.
Includes a set of our Multicellular Urethane bumpstops, which will improve ride quality, travel and the ability to absorb mid-corner bumps. We have found that many NCs by this point have disintegrated bumpstops anyhow. 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.

have a 2009 PRHT bought with 27K on it 2.5 yrs ago. handling was sketchy, rear was thumping when cornering through a dip. bought the street koni's and bump stops. unfortunately one shock was defective from the factory. took three weeks to get a replacement. while the koni's solved the handling and thumping issues, the ride is waay too hard! I ride sport bikes and have an FL type R civic which in "R" mode rides noticeably better than my NC. I plan on checking to ensure the car isn't riding on the bump stops for some reason. had a trusted shop install them.
Sorry to hear about the bum shock right out of the box, Rick! That's pretty unusual, but what's more unusual is to hear that the Koni STR.T shocks ride hard. They're better-valved shocks for the stock springs than even the factory shocks, so that's not a comment we typically hear about the ride quality - it sounds like there might be something wrong. Please reach out to our Customer Support Team if you'd like help troubleshooting the issue. Thanks again!
Bought the Koni Str.t to replace aging OEM shocks on an NC PRHT. Ride is excellent and quieter too while keeping the factory stance. The only thing that would have made the kit purchase complete is an option that included boots in the one price option instead of buying them seperately.
2014 NC PHRT A/T Club. New to me with 44k miles. The ride was rough but the factory shocks looked okay. I did notice it felt uncomposed on rough interstate, it wouldn't settle into a smooth groove. Since I didn't want to lower or make any modifications this seemed to be the right path based on other reviews and on FM's advice.
Upon disassembly I found one rear factory shock was starting to leak and corrode, plus it's bump stop was completely gone. I'm glad I followed their advice to replace all the rubber bits also.
HUGE difference! The ride is much smoother and more controlled. I would definately suggest this upgrade for anyone.
Just had the Koni STR.T shock and bump stop kit installed on my 2008 Miata that had 29000 miles on it. I wanted a comfortable ride and an improvement in handling, and this kit delivered. The ride is at least as comfortable as stock (maybe better) and the handling is definitely improved. The car feels tighter and more composed while being comfortable to drive. For myself (a senior citizen) this kit provides the perfect balance between ride and better than stock handling. It is like I am driving a new Miata, but with improved handling. Also, my mechanic said that the original bump stops had completely disintegrated and all the other rubber parts were worn out, so it was smart to follow Flying Miata’s advice and replace those also. This purchase was well worth the investment.
Nc miatas are all pretty old now, shock time. As expected great improvement. Expect another 10 years.
