Default Koni shocks and H & R springs

Can the H & R springs be used with Koni shocks? Unable to find any B8's and unable to return the springs I purchased.

I'm a little surprised there aren't more guys running Konis if those are an option. I absolutely love them on my other car.

I have the yellows on my Honda. At soft, they ride better than stock (while also handling better), and the rebound adjustability is great for the track. I'd have no hesitation about putting them on the P-car if it's the correct application.

I believe the B8 shocks are specifically designed for use with a slightly shorter spring like the H&R sport... Not sure how much difference it makes, or if one the Koni's is also designed for shorter springs as well.

pretty sure the koni SPORTS are the same length as the b8 and yes, to be used with lowering springs. but I'd certainly make CERTAIN of that pre purchase. good point.

Pelican is out of B8's. I was told B8's have been out of stock for at least 6 month.

wow. the inavailability continues. it said they had six fronts. oh, well.
