I don't own Konis, but from those that do they are worth every penny. you do have to "mod" the front strut housing(??) slightly to make them fit, but other than that....they are the best out there. Sus Tech Springs are nice too, good drop!

Modifying the strut housing is right, but it's not slight. You actually cut the end where the shaft comes out so you have an empty housing. The koni's are cartridges that fit in the housing. They bolt in at the end of the housing opposite the shaft. Contact Tire Rack or Koni and they will send you a copy of the install instructions FYI. They are fully adjustable..Scrape together the dough as this will be very useful for tuning and finding a comfortable rebound rate. Turn em to full hard at the track. I am about to send out for them soon.
