koni inserts

[JLHollowX13]

ive read a little bit about them, but i need some more input. i can get some used stock struts with around 100k miles, with a 30 day warranty for around $400. i need stuts BAD!!! my tires bounce like a basketball on some of the dirt roads around here, even going slow and the sound is bad. what do koni's go for? where can i get them and will they be worth it? and does anyone have any they are selling? how hard are they to install also? thanks for any help

I think the inserts are about 750 after shipping for all 4. I recommend them over the stock struts because I've purchased new struts from the dealer and had them fail within less than a year, and ended up with koni's anyway.

thanks tim!

did you put them in yourself? if so how hard was it and what is involved? if you didnt, how much did you pay? just for an estimate on price

[Tim]

No, I had YT put them in. The installation of the inserts isnt hard, but the issue I had at hand was the cuttting and welding for the ground control coilovers. The stock spring perches had to be cut off and replaced by the GC spring perches (which required welding).

I think I paid around 730 for the struts and around 400 for the Ground Control coilover kit.

is it possible to use the stock springs? if so, does that require any welding and modifications? i dont really want to lower the car like the gc's do, im fine with the ride height, so can i just keep it?
