i'm looking into buying these struts for my car and was wondering if they can be use in the winter as well? also does anyone know the warranty koni provides and how much of a drop they can handle?

 

they say theyre not designed to drop more than 2 inches, but can....i intend to drop mine more, as the sportlines are a 2.5in rear drop, and a 2.0in front...but these konis fit on the SS as well, and sportlines only drop those about 1.5 in...so im thinking it can probably take the drop as i believe they were designed around the SS, but also fit the 2.2 and 2.4 instead of the other way around

 

Koni will take the drop of the Eibach Sportlines and Prokit just fine, along with the Progress and most other brands.

It is not the struts that wont take it, the struts in winter will be just fine.

It is how low the car will sit, and if there is snow how well you can go through it.

 

i have my koni's and LOVE THEM. there paired with SSC springs. insane combo

 

is it really firm or or just like factory almost cause im sick of bouncing over town right now on my sportlines.

 

You can adjust them to fit your needs. They work awesome with the Eibach Sportlines

 

Got my Koni struts today, just waiting for my Eibach Sportslines on Wednesday.. Never drove a lowered car so I'll post a topic when I got it done and let everybody know my feedback.

 

this is true...ive got em with sportlines and love em. ive never adjusted em so far though, as i want a firmer ride, but at the same time the car is already getting a jolt every once in a while from little dips onthe freeway at higher speeds. i have 0 regrets with these things though

 

Got my Koni struts and Eibach sportslines springs today. I must say, they are great!! The ride is really smooth, just has to modify the front OEM strut, aside from that it's perfect combo!! I'll recommend it to anyone!!

 

It is a great combo Koni and sportlines have always been a good choice across many models...

 

The only concern that I have with these are that the front is a cartridge. You have to cut apart your stock housing and install the Koni cartridge in there. How reliable is that, how is the quality, is that worth the money??

 

Andy,

Koni has done this for years w/ great success. All the J-body guys use Koni's for years upon years w/ the insert. Not any different than buying a full strut except for koni makes it much less expensive for you...

 

Thanks man...This is yet another buy that I maybe gettin in on in the near future. I might have to find someone to help/do the front struts for me though. I don't have the place nor the tools to try it myself.

 

It wasn't that hard to do. There's an instruction that comes with. Just follow it and it's good to go!

 

Has any made a how-to with pics for this.

 

Ya, whats the part #. I'll prob have to have my tire guy special order em, but they sound great. Love the reviews.

Or are they listed for the Cobalt SS??

 

Oh, anybody with Koni struts hear the rear squeek a little when pushed down??

 

yes...idk if its rear, but it sounds like the front left strut. even small bumps make a small squeek, but its hardly noticeable with music on, and i always have the radio on

 

Oh alright... That's not a sign that the strut's failing is it??

 

i cant say, though i doubt it, cause miens been making that noise since i got em installed.
