The actual konis themselfs wont change the looks or the svx, they are inserted down into the hollowed out stock strut housing. you drill your old struts let them drain and then pull em out, then replace them with the konis, konis are resistance ajustable and can tune your ride to be stiffer on the rebound, to lower/adjust the height of you svx you will have to go with a set of progressive rate drop springs or the ground control sport coil over setup, which requires you to cut your old spring pearches and weld smaller ones on. these are fully adjustable, konis and ground control coil over togther will give you the ability to make multiple adjustments to your suspension. search for konis and ground cotrol and there are quite a few threads with pics included. Im pretty new on here but have already found all the info on this topic that i have wanted just browsing old threads.

There is a multitude of pictures scattered amongst the lockers of various members of this esteemed network. Using the "search" feature you should be able to identify the members that have the pictures.

Well i have some Motorsport SVX G-Lateral Drop Springs but i need to get some new shocks. Just wanted to know if anyone has this kinds of set up on their car or would it be better for sale the spring and go with the Eibach set up? Or just keep the spring and go with the Koni struts?

Why don't you ask Dayle at Motorsport? I'm sure he's got some pics of a car with that combo.
