    i thought koni's were supposed to be one of the better riding shocks, but some springs might work better with them than others.
    anyway koni/eibach works well on my car, with great ride and handling.
    btw, before i fitted the koni's, i had bilstein struts with the same springs, and the koni's are definitely softer riding.

    I dont bother with TRD shocks at they are just rebadged Tokico or KYB's.
    IMHO the Konis are a better shock.
    I can supply adjustable Konis or KYB's. email me at work is easiest. thanks

    whore, if you have the early model struts (i think about pre 93) with the removable gland nut, it's easy to fit the koni inserts. later models had sealed struts (bilstein) with the shock welded in.

    My local suspension guy said they have nuts on them, thats why im asking what my options are. If they were welded idd be pricing some Tien super streets as we speak.
