Rep Power: 0 Konis need to be cut and drilled so it fit? Why? Is it like the 01-02 strut botls being 14mm and 03-05 being 16mm or is there something else? Because i had to do that will my tokico blues, but im replacing them with Kon Yellows also.

Rep Power: 276 ^yea they need to be somehow modified. the bottom of the housing has to have a hole drilled in it n thats where a bolt will go that holds the strut in place wit the housing.

Rep Power: 0 i did it once, but i never like how the koni's felt and i actuall blew out the rear shocks because the coilover i has were very cheap. So replaced the entire suspension with RSX suspension then TIEN!
It's really not hard at all but it will require a little muscle to cut the lid of the OEM shock (get's used as a sleeve for the new shocks)
If you have some one do it i would say it should be more than $75-130 just cuz it takes a while to cut them.
Oh yeah I LOVE MY TEINs!

Rep Power: 0 Drivetofast (Josh) may be able to help you out. Haven't seen or heard from him in a while but he did mine almost two years ago. They still ride fine and it only took him two or so hours to install.
