i believe you mean koni struts not konig(they make wheels not struts). and you can find them in the vendor's section, on ebay or order them at a local speed shop.

Well, do you want a strut, or a coil-over? Then obviously those are more money.

I want to get strut; coil-over is too pricey... I can only find Konis so far, and maybe I'll get that instead...

So I already covered the strut. Do I still need anything else besides struts before installing the springs?? I'm getting Eibach sportlines; is there anybody has a feed back about those springs?? And I know sway bar and strut bar would be last mods...

The sportlines are pretty much da bomb. Those combined with the koni's make a pretty sweet set-up.

I just got my FE5 struts and shocks today, about 250 bucks total. Also the Konis are inserts last I looked, or is that another company? (help anyone)

koni's are inserts for the fronts. not a difficult install just time consuming, i got a pair of donor struts off ebay for $50 so i still have a full set of factory struts and springs come trade in time.

Alright.. It all make sense now. I'll just have to save up now to get the koni struts and sportsline springs. But my car's under warranty; would they void it if I get new suspension installed?? I'm thinking of letting my dealer install it for me so there's not arguments if something happens... Anybody has a feedback??

dealer probly wont do the install, they have a problem putting anything on that doesnt get ordered through them. and for the warranty the only thing is should affect is the suspension aspects of the warranty, the dealer wont fix anything suspension related with aftermarket springs and struts installed. as long as you dont do anything crazy the koni's and eibachs should last a very long time, probly longer than youll keep the car.
