Title: Koni Sports Suspension Kit
Post by: so.simple on June 13, 2005, 17:43
As my current shocks and springs are still the ones that came with the car (5 years old now) I know I'll have to replace them one of these days. While looking for some prices online, I came across these:

http://www.funkystyling.co.uk/parts/item.php?carNumber=29&carMake=MR-S&catTypeNumber=4&catType=Suspension,%20Stability,%20Steering&subcatType=Shock%20Absorbers&subcatTypeNumber=114

What do you think?

Yellow Koni are excellent and can be mixed with lowering springs!  Don't know about the kit but it seems to be yellow style plus springs.

I'll go for yellow when my struts dead!

Did anyone ever try these out? We can't get them in the states but If they end up being the dog's danglies I'd look to import a set.

Hello! I didn't buy them... Yet. Probably in two or three months. Anyway, are you sure you can't get them in the US? I see lots of people talking about konis at Spyderchat.

We can get the Koni inserts over here but the Koni Sport set is not available in the US.

Those are the inserts. The Sports kit includes the whole strut and matching springs.
