I'm starting to wonder whether or not the Koni's are the best way to go after reading so many posts lately about people having major problems with them. Might be smarter to wait for something else to come out.

I had mine on for couple months now, No problems at all. Maybe it is because I paid so much to get them installed[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

there is one other strut available for our cars right now. it is made my bec tec. they are a shorter version of OEM shocks. this calims to provide a stock ride quality. it also comes in two versions, 1) regular strut 2)an adjustable one. adjustable, not by the damper settings but the height of the lower perch. basically being a 'true coilover'. it can be used with any springs, stock or lowering. n again these are FULL struts not inserts like konis. i have tried to get a sponsorship of some sort so that i could test it out and tell everyone how it is but i dont think they are too interested in that idea. i do think the concept of an adjustable strut is a great idea but i have told him that not too many people are ready to shell out $600 on an unknown company. maybe someone with an extra $600 could gamble for us and buy it. but yes i will keep trying to let them have me try there product so that i could tell you guys how there are.... for more information you might want to search for the posts by the member named 'strutwizard'. also there is a person on here trying to get a group buy on it, i guess try searching for bec tec or something.

I have Konis and one of mine blew. I don't know why because I didn't even have it at the firmest setting. There gots to be something defective in the Konis. If I had my factory suspension I would put it all back.

I ordered the adjustable koni's for my civic but they haven't arrived yet. To my knowledge there is NO lifetime waranty. <----PLEASE correct me if im wrong. i would have gone with tokico because they are cheaper and have a lifetime waranty. however, they dont come out till september! Im in a hurry to replace my struts because i have SkUnK2 coilovers on my car and my right rear strut is already blown. if the koni's suck im going to be p!ssed about spending 587.54 $ on them!!!!!


what the???!!!! thats not my info
