KONI STRUTS. A GOOD INVESTMENT OR NOT???

Ok. I'm interest to buy Koni struts. But in Canada, it' s very expensive... 1350$ CAN( taxs and installation included). I mean... I just wanna know if buying those struts are a great mod to do.( BTW I have Eibach Sportline coils already installed).

HOw is your ride? If it is too bouncy then yes it is a good investment becuase your factory shocks will eventually blow. The Konis are good for lowered cars and should last you the life of your car.

I have eibach sportlines and koni yellows on and I would recommend it. The ride isn't as harsh as with the stock struts. Besides I had to get the konis because my struts/shocks were blown. The konis also fixed the problem of my rear being lower than my front.

i would have to say my konis were the best thing i ever bought for my car lol. after riding around wit horrible bounciness for like 3 months, the konis gave me a better ride than stock. but $1350 CAN sounds a lot. i dunno how much that is in US dollars, but i'd would've even bout my koni's for 700 if i had to

You're serious??? Does it means that your front is now lower than the rear. It would be great...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

It's actually more that the drop is even all around. Before my rear was lower (I have a sedan) but since the konis in the rear can adjust the height a bit, my drop was even. You probably could make you front lower than your rear tho.
