(FD) Knight sports dampers... Anyone have info on these?
 
I picked these up at a junkyard in Japan for less than the cost of gas to get there. I currently have some Toda fightex coilovers, but the front height adjusting collars are seized. I want to throw these on while I try to mend the Todas. My 7 is my daily driver so a swap/fix/swap is what I'm looking for, but if the KS feel better I might keep them permanent.

Problem is, I can't find anything on the web for these and would like to get some tips/specs before I swap.

Any takers?

Well, I'm about to start the swap here in a few minutes. Still looking for info though...

Anybody?

Here's the stamp on back of the shock body. It looks like it was made for knight sports by KYB. Still can't find any info though...http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g1...6/9b4e94f2.jpg

There was a Car and Driver comparison on the shock dyno comparing the KYB Gr2 to Koni sport, Koni sport won by a long shot. There's no telling what piston and valves are in these things, but they are red... It's a long shot I know.

I have a set is well but have yet to drive my car with them on . From what I can gather they are similar to the GAB shocks (nearly look identical) which, from what I have read people have said, ride very stiff

Looks like a KYB AGX adjuster. These are full body coilovers? You could hope they are KYB bodies spec-valved for Kinight Sports, because the off-the-shelf AGX damping sucks.

Got the fronts on today. They sit about 1" higher than my Todas, which is exactly how much I was going to raise the Todas if they weren't seized. Took her for a spin, so far so good. They were actually just a touch softer than the Todas. I can live with that until the Todas are fixed. Overall, not bad on the maiden voyage.

I have the same problem. I picked mine up for my FC for free but I only have the rears. Cant find any info for the fronts :/
