i love em...i have zero complaints, and recommend them to anyone who is looking for more than just springs for their suspension, but doesnt want to spend mad cash on coilovers. They're pretty similar to coilovers really. The only difference is you cant adjust ride height. But a set of sportlines and konis gives you the same drop and firmness adjust ability as coilovers.

Don't get me wrong cause I like Koni's but don't forget that $600 is for 4 Koni Stuts only
You still have to buy the springs ($200 to $250) and don't forget the extra labour costs needed to cut, bleed and fit your front factory struts.
The Fronts are strut inserts only they are not a bolt-on replacement

After you remove your stock GM strut you are suppose to drill a small hole on the bottom of the Strut and bleed the fluid out before cutting it

Konis are the top of the line. We carry them @ www.TurboTechRacing.com
We have had experience with them for over 10 years. The Cavalier/Sunfire use the same replacement system and even after all these years they are still rated #1.
