Anyone used Koni STR.T struts?

I had never heard of these struts until about 4 hours ago. I had no idea that Koni even made these. Non-adjustable, but also not inserts that you have to modify and insert in to stock front housings.

I'm selling my k-sports for something more rough road friendly, K sports are nice on smooth roads and the track, but not nice for rough roads in a daily driver for this old man.

Why not just go with AGX? The Koni STR.T are,... IIRC the orange ones! I recently installed Koni yellows on my 5th Gen and I'm loving them....I think they're more durable and robust than the Tokico Illuminas due to the size of they piston...If you can get them do so the pricing is cheaper as well.

i had AGXs and wasn't that impressed with them, and the account from every suspension guy i trust on here is that AGXs are garbage which i guess explains why a relative suspension noob like me didn't even like them. can't match compression and rebound on them.

Interesting I never heard of those struts, have u seen any reviews on other car fourms that have them? Thats what I do if I have no idea about the item or heard of them.



I have H & R springs on KYB struts and the drop is solid, i can't complain about the drop it gave and the ride it gives, It may be a little bouncing here and there, but I enjoy it. I believe it was 4 finger gap, I didn't know that the springs and struts came in color, but the shop just went plain black for both of them. Kinda wish I got blue for the springs and red for KYB.

My ride, Working on Clears to get the full black/white look. Already have the parts just gotta get a shop to do it. (97 rear and front swap. _ Name:  pMjNYX2.png

It's all subjective....I love my AGX and S.Teins, going with lowered suspension is a compromise

I had a set of Koni reds on a different car and they were the best struts I ever had on any vehicle. I wish they sold them for my car now.

I think it really depends on how you have your car setup....that includes the dampners, springs, tire and wheels....as well as swaybar....
