NH: WTB Struts Suitable For Koni Conversion

I'm on the hunt for a set of struts/springs suitable for use with a Koni swap (ie: blown). Optimally, I would like to get complete strut/spring assemblies, as I would like to build a set completely off the car to then just swap onto the car in one go. I can then offer up my completed assemblies for cheap so that someone else who wants to do the same can.

Any help is most appreciated!

I have 4 from my vehicle that I just removed so I could install a 2nd set with Konis, but I reused the springs, so it's just the original struts in the original housings. They are ready for modification if you are interested.

I am, but I'd like to hopefully find a complete set so that I can build them off the car and swap them in at one go. Let me see if I can get a full set somewhere first, but I'll keep you posted.

If the OP doesn't want them, I'll take the rears. Coilovers ftw.

The eBay ones are too good to cut up- I'm hoping for blown and cheap so I don't mind hacking them up

icingdeath88, I'll have 2 rust free rear struts, less springs, as soon as my son finishes installing the Koni's. No charge except shipping costs.

Ok sweet. Lemme know.

North, after I'm done with the Koni/GCs I'll have a set of 4 you can use. It would be a while though.

Re: NH: WTB Struts Suitable For Koni Conversion

That's fine- the car has been with the mechanic since the end of January, and he's only just starting on it now. Long story, but I won't need the for awhile. Let me know when you're set- thanks !

Re: NH: WTB Struts Suitable For Koni Conversion

PM me whoever needs what I have...right now I have them sitting in my garage in a box.
I may also have a full set used that I never installed from a previous purchase last year. I have to check on that.

Re: NH: WTB Struts Suitable For Koni Conversion

Turns out I have:

An 85lb box with (1) complete set of full strut assemblies that I never took apart. They actually look in good shape. This includes all mounts, springs, boots, etc.

I have also the (1) full set removed from my vehicle (only the housings and the strut bodies themselves, no springs or mounts

And last but not least (1) complete front strut used, not sure if it's left or right side..I believe I ordered a used one for the left front a long time ago. I will have to confirm that.

I have a set of all 4 that you can have for 25$ picked up and I would want your old ones on your car as a core whenever you finish the swap.

I do have a pair of custom top hats by Myxalplyx for GC's, if anyone is interested, plus a set of 4 new, never installed GC springs. $ or trade offers welcomed. Pics available.
