You would need massive bolts to cover enough of the metal to make it safe, he welded that way the bolts have something to hold onto making it safer and less scary i'm sure.
Re: KYB AGX adjustable strut install on TD!!!!
yeah im likingt he insert idea too. $200 a pop isnt bad for konis i guess.
you guys seem to pair them with after market springs, how well would shelby csx springs work?
i have shelby lancer springs on a pair of sensa tracs and the coils are cut (1.5coils removed i think.. previous owner did it) the ride is tighter than stock but i do get the double bounce instead of a single bounce when i hit a bump.. would these struts take care of that? im just assuming my spring rate is too high for my crap struts.
Re: KYB AGX adjustable strut install on TD!!!!
I googled the part number (8610-1351SPORT) and came up with a regular strut (for a subaru) not a cartridge that could be inserted into another strut housing. What am I missing?

Re: KYB AGX adjustable strut install on TD!!!!
last i checked, BCs for neons are like $1200 and $900 if modern performance decides to have a flash sale...and thats just for the struts
are you saying it wouldnt come with struts, just inserts and camber plates and such?
Re: KYB AGX adjustable strut install on TD!!!!
The thread is here.
The site to purchase kits is here.
You would need the "BR Front Half kit" for $500 and the "Front SRT4 to 80's Dodge Adapter Kit" for $150, so, it's $650 total. Not bad for a bolt on kit. The total package minus rear shocks would be $1050 plus the QA1 shocks modified to fit. I just dream about installing all this on a ride.
Re: KYB AGX adjustable strut install on TD!!!!
oo yeah, 2 struts $500 all 4, $1000 makes sense
thanks

Re: KYB AGX adjustable strut install on TD!!!!
Are the diameters of the K and L body struts the same? I'm wondering if the Imprezza inserts would work in the L-body struts.

The coilovers run you 650 and bolt in with brand new springs in your choice of rate and you could adjust from close to stock down to slammed.
More like 285 for the pair plus a coilover kit, you still come out cheaper unless you want/need the camber plates.

Good question, if I had to guess I would say they are the same. Anyone have anything that would say otherwise?

Man. Part Number: RS999126
= 26" extended
is that what you would use on a mini or car? The RS999118 is 22.125", RS999116 is 23.750" extended, pretty close to the 23" I just measured on the KYB's on the back of my lebaron.
Re: KYB AGX adjustable strut install on TD!!!!
Made a set with the Konis - can't wait to mate up to my 2801s and install on the car.

Re: KYB AGX adjustable strut install on TD!!!!
if you used the Subby Koni's you wont be disappointed, they're smexy :D . Now that Eibach discontinued their Pro kit springs for our car it looks like i'll be cutting my factory csxt springs and mating them with the koni's. Hopefully its a good combo
Re: KYB AGX adjustable strut install on TD!!!!
Love the 2801's. Will be swapping them over next week when I put the new clutch in. Been eyeing this thread for a long time. Just couldn't find a set of Konis that were close to new for a decent price. Can't wait to mount them up - pretty stoked.
