Strut Options
Besides stock and Koni are there any other strut options for our svx's Im reluctant to buy oem struts that may have been sitting on the shelf for many years and have lost there full function capabilities. Koni's are big bucks, so any alternate cheaper struts that would work.

Re: Strut Options
There is another option that DesertRunner has on his rally car, but they're even more expensive than going the Koni route. This is what happens when you have a very limited production run.

Re: Strut Options
The strut issue is bad. I am on the hunt for rear struts at the moment and am not having much luck.
This is an email I received during the week from a Koni distributer: Hi Michael, Thanks for your email. Unfortunately, Koni stopped making dampers for the SVX along time ago, so we cannot help you anymore. Regards, Barry Toperformance-Koni

Re: Strut Options
Yep. We need to work on adapting struts from another car to work.

The next option would be OEM replacements which pretty much seems like you're playing with fire taking a chance on them. Anything else, and you are looking at major modification while still using the SVX OEM springs and tophats.
