does anyone make a direct bolt in strut/shock?
 
Ok so heres the deal, already got lowering springs, and im on stock shocks. I know that koni makes them however you have to hacksaw your stock ones in the front, they are inserts not a full kit. Does anyone make something you just bolt on?

Cefaln452 01-01-2010 07:34 PM

im pretty sure they dont... other than factory replacements

TCguy 01-01-2010 07:38 PM

Yeah exactly how do these work? ive been reading that you need to "modify" these.:eek:

Cefaln452 01-01-2010 07:41 PM

oh kyb makes a oem replacement... supposed to be better than oem

Rippin07 01-01-2010 07:42 PM

The changeover to the Koni's is really quite simple if your worried about the install.

ls1fbody 01-01-2010 07:43 PM

TC shocks are best.

coilovers?

The rear konis bolt in, the fronts you basically hacksaw the top half off then drill a hole in the bottom and the konis are a "insert"

Maven 01-02-2010 04:00 PM

Actually IIRC KYB makes the fronts and Sachs makes the rears ;)
