Good price Adam. Are these the inserts? Where you use some stock parts?

Yes these are the inserts. it would be required to modify the OEM Strut. They get bolted into stock housing after cutting the top of the strut and removing old internal parts. Might sound really complicated...but pretty simple actually.

you ship to Canada,I will be wanting to order these in about 16 days

yes we do ship to Canada, where are you located? PM me and I can get you a quote.

Wait, (N00b question) you don't just bolt these on? I need the front ones. Didn't think we had aftermarket struts.

yes and no.... basically you have to modify the existing strut a bit than you bolt them in. Than you insert these. to replace your OEM ones. Also you would need both fronts and rears when replacing such components because otherwise your car will feel very unbalanced. PM me if you still need help.

I have Tenzo Rs in my car right now, will these soften the ride, or leave it like stock.

The shocks act like dampeners and are what controls the movement of the springs. Your springs will decide how stiff your car will be. These will help you control your cars movement and reactions to different driving settings and styles. So your car should be just as stiff...however the adjust ability for dampening is where the fun begins. Hope that helps.

Do these strusts allow for correct spring wear in? I know alot of people who get just springs without replacing struts have issues. I want a very dependable suspension. Don't want parts wearing out quicker because of having a lowered car. Details would be great man.

Brandon97Z
04-11-2007, 07:30 PM
Not sure on install since koni installed them during the testing, i know the rears are a piece of cake two bolts on each side and your done. I could guess on how much it'd be but it'd be just that a guess. I'd check with some local shops and see what they quote.

Still confused, sorry. What is there to "modify" on the stock struts?

Brandon97Z
04-11-2007, 09:56 PM
The koni fronts are inserts meaning you use the housing of the stock strut to actually bolt them up to the car. They have instuctions i'm sure on koni's site if you want to see what all is involved.

That is correct, detailed instructions on the process are on the site and also are included in every package.

x1000 I would like to know too. Don't know much about suspension. Would not mind dropping the cash if there is a big benefit. If it allows you to lower your car with springs without wearing out the struts then I may be game.

also, what springs are you talking about how much drop? gimme a nice price i'll pay for it asap

The dampening rate is adjustable, the ride height is not adjustable through the struts. I had adjustable KYB AGX's on my cavy and the adjustmentability so to speak was very nice.

Correct me if I am wrong but this is how I understand how struts/shocks work:

Shocks/struts determine how much force is required to change the height of your springs, now this is not to say that your shocks/struts control the height of your springs, only the rate at which your springs compress. Your springs ultimately control the height of your car.

For an easy explination, think of an old cadillac, you hit a bump in it you are going to keep rebounding off the springs because the struts/shocks are most likely dead, whereas if you have a set of brand new OEM struts/shocks the car will rebound maybe once and level out. These Koni struts/shocks allow you the ability to adjust between those 2, although it probably wont be adjustable to be compared with a set of dead shocks.

If you are still confused Wikipedia is your friend:

I could not keep that sale because my distributor gave me inaccurate pricing info. Basically that would have been the price for 1 strut. SO I had to adjust the price. I am still going to be under any ebay price you guys will find. Plus the price is for the struts shipped to your house. I am not going to charge ridiculous shipping prices that I am sure people have witnessed on ebay. I know I have. And If you guys find it cheaper. PM me the link and I will beat that price. I am trying here.....;)


And thanks for clearing up the dampening portion of the strut part. Although I think that others will still be a bit confused....lol. Call me up an i can explain any confusion directly.

No, you are adjusting the dampening of the shock. Basically the travel of the suspension ( the springs ) . The springs are what drops the car, and if you were looking to adjust height after wards you would probably need a full coil-over set. I will post up a sale for a nice coil over set ASAP.

that being said, how stiff should i make the rear ones when they get put on?
if you have to take them off to adjust them, what would be the ideal firmness of the near struts? i assume the fronts are pretty much turn the knob

Well the rears are easy to take out. So its not a permanent setting. However I would ask your self what would you like the car to feel like. If you want the car to feel a bit more neutral and have a less understeer feel....where the car feels like it wants to rotate, than I would go for a more firm setting. However it also varies how and where you drive. EX autoX or track....both??

Let me know how you are planning to drive it and what kind of other suspension mods you have (ex: stiffining devices, sways....etc. )


However if you want to keep it safe where it would be good all around I would leave them at about half firm. Than after driving adjust accordingly to your needs.

Hope this helps...

Okay....So I would say go about 60-50% firm on the rears and play with the fronts to get the right feeling for the car. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Brandon97Z
04-16-2007, 10:13 PM
When koni installed mine they put maybe a 1/4 turn from the softest setting. The difference from Full soft to full firm is almost a full turn but not quite 360*.

Sounds good. Did you ever play around with the settings in the back? How does the car feel?

Brandon97Z
04-17-2007, 03:16 PM
No i haven't changed the rears yet. The setting they have it on is good for me for daily driving. I've wanted to set them to full firm for the strip to see how it helps with the launch but everytime i went i didn't have time. If i do some autocross this year i might mess with the rears a little more but for now its good. But the car feels extremely tight and solid at any setting. But with the fronts on full firm you can take the in pretty deep on a turn and she loves every minute of it.

So I installed Sportlines and the Koni shocks today, Install is easy but its a lot easier if you have an electric sawsall (sp?) thats what I used to cut the top off the stock struts. The first one took me and a buddy about an hour just figuring out how to do it and taking breaks for beer. After that though it took us another hour to finish up on the other 3 corners.

I have both my front and rear set all the way stiff, the car rides like a gokart but I like it that way.

I'm curious...why didn't Koni make a complete front strut instead of an insert? It seems that the use of a cartridge design would reduce the piston diameter due to the addition of the cartridge body's thickness.

BTW...what springs are you guys using?
