has any one had any experience with the koni shock inserts? also where is the best place to get a set? gravana wants 600 is there anywhere cheaper. or if anyone has a slightly used set pm me. thanks guys

 

i dont personally have a set but i've heard a lot of members talk very highly bout them.. so just from that i'd say they would be worth it..

 

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.

 

the cheapest I've seen them is at www.shox.com

also THMotorsports was running a special on them, not sure if they still have some or not.

 

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

 

i already have a set of h&R springs and the work needed to install the strut inserts can be done with hand tools. theres a step by step on koni's website

 

total for me was $700 shipped for struts, $250 shipped for springs, and $185 for labor to have a shop install, but the install can also be done yourself with hand tools. still way cheaper than coilovers

 

danm u kinda payed alot for the struts...also whats this bleeding crap u gotta do up front...i can installed them in about 30 min or so..but bleeding them,never done it,so im kinda lost..

 

you can get a nice coilover setup for around that same price so how is this setup better?

 

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.

 

it mightve been less...i think i bought em through TTR, but it was over a year ago, so i cant remember the prices perfectly. Im positive on the install cost tho

 

and once all the fluid comes out?do i just take the bottom part off and place it with the koni unit
