Konis are great! however, out of 7 person, none liked B&G springs. On an srt-4, an impreza, accent,....small/bad drop, too soft,...

You should match your koni with a better coil. I would go with H&R, Eibach,...

with stock struts though right, ill wait and see how it is when i get the setup on, however i like the b+g springs


.......will my car should sit at the previous height after my new setup? it shouldnt sag or drop lower due to moving the spring from the perch right?

Never had Konis on my Tib.. HAD them on my spider.. great shocks! I doubt you will be disappointed with them in the least.

I would definately go with Koni. I'm gonna get a set to go with my Eibach lowering springs in the near future.

part #' front 1422, rear 1423 im pretty sure, althought konis website say 1434,1435 other retailers list them as 1422,1423.....i got quoted for $400 for koni sport's which are the yellow (adjustable dampening)......

but dont forget the shop that installs them (or if you do) has to gut the mcphersons' cuz the konis are only inserts... so labor may be expensive......



come on ****groupbuy for aem uego wideband controller****
