Rep Power: 306 KYB . . . but you'll STILL have to cut the fronts and use inserts. . . otherwise you'll spend even more money.
Thanks Honda. . . for integrating the steering linkages into the strut bodies.
Just save up the $600 for the Konis. . . you will NOT be disappointed.

Other alternatives to struts... you could fit the spoon EP3 ones ($2750) or the Mugen/Moton ones ($4200). Konis are cheap.

It's a real pain in the *** to have to disconnect the freaking tierod ends every time you want to take the strut assembly off, though. This is why I've adopted the "leave em be" approach when lowering a car on stock shocks.

Otherwise, they'll probably just say "screw it" and make inserts. Right now they're losing a good deal of money to Knoi's solution, and I doubt they like that.
