    Searched everywhere and couldn't find anyone that has this setup.

    Found a killer deal on a set of Koni Orange/Str.t with H&R springs but they only made this package for Genpus...

    I know that the rear shocks will require spacers to fit.

    But are there any significant differences (internally) between Koni Oranges and H&Rs offered for first and second gen ms3?
    (shock dampening rate, spring rate, spring height etc...)
    I don't want to get this package and after installation, realize that my front end sits higher or my rear sags much lower since weight distribution between the two generations are different

    For $200 more, I can get yellows with springs that will fit specifically to a Genwon but I will never autocross so there won't be much benefit from it.

    Thanks,

    They also make the STR.T for the Gen Won... Are you just saying that you can only get the "killer deal" on the ones for the Pu??

    yep :/
    [doublepost=1457562637][/doublepost]Did bit of research:

    Koni Orange front struts are the same for Genwon and Genpu.

    However the rears are still in development and they recommend you to get the regular 3's (8050 1107)
    But the Genpu's are in production (8050 1109) and may have stiffer dampening settings
    The Genpu's regular 3's are listed as (8050 1108)

    So getting the Genpu's 1109 seems like the best choice for a stiffer rear

    -----------------------------

    H&R's springs hav ethe same drop for both gen

    51643-2 = Genwon's
    52603 = Genpu's

    Does anyone know the difference between Genwon and GenPu's spring rate?
