    Konis for Spirit R/T?

    Title says it.

    got a blown out driver's side and whole car could use some dampers.
    John Laing

    "The sole condition which is required in order to succeed in centralizing the supreme power in a democratic community, is to love equality, or to get men to believe you love it. Thus the science of despotism, which was once so complex is simplified, and reduced . . . . to a single principle."
    -- Alexis de Tocqueville

    "One of the methods used by statists to destroy capitalism consists in establishing controls that tie a given industry hand and foot, making it unable to solve its problems, then declaring that freedom has failed and stronger controls are necessary."
    --Ayn Rand

    "To evolve, you don't need a Constitution. All you need is a legislature and a ballot box . . . . things will evolve as much as you want. All of these changes can come about democratically; you don't need a Constitution to do that and it's not the function of a Constitution to do that."
    -- Justice Antonin Scalia

    we haven't added them to the site yet, becuase we only have fronts available and not the rears yet. We will be remaking the koni rears, and using koni inserts for the front. you will resuse your old strut housing, and cut/gut them then drop in the insert. You can use your stock or eibach springs, and we can also provide the sleeves, hats and bearings if you want to do the front in a coilover version. So if interested, just call.

    coil overs, Checking it out now...

    didnt see much on the site, in order to do coil overs do you have to have a shell(blown koni for instance) in order to start. I have nothing and would prefer to go coil over instead of KYBs

    No, you use your STOCK strut then a Koni insert.

    Re: Konis for Spirit R/T?

    the fronts are sweet. On a small request I don't suppose the new rears will be knob adjustible vs the old style of removing them? That would be nice lol.

    Most cars don't have the stock struts anymore. Will this work with KYB any or aftermarket struts would be his question.

    Re: Konis for Spirit R/T?

    Id hate to complain cindy, but the L body front coilovers are getting to a price that is a bit on the rediculous side. $799? springs are seperate too...

    Any reason why they are that high?

    Re: Konis for Spirit R/T?

    Because Koni keeps raising the price everytime we make another batch. This last time around, it went up 30%. Doesn't help that the USD is getting it's butt kicked by the euro either....

    We have not looked into L-body insert since we sell the coilovers for the L-body. Once we get the g-body stuff out, I will look into L-body inserts....

    Any STOCK replacement strut (kyb) will have the STOCK dimensions and will take the insert. Brand means nothing in that context.

    Dont push the red button.You hear me?
