I understand that koni struts go inside the stock struts (strut inserts). Does this mean that if the stock struts are shot when the konis are installed, the konis will produce inferior performance? Or does it not matter?

Thanks,

yes, the stock ones are gone, you will have to take them completly apart, and yes, Koni are BY FAR BETTER THAN STOCK, considering that you can also adjust them,

 

So if you take them completely apart, does their ability to absorb shocks affect the performance of the konis?

 

you basically completly destroy the stock front shocks, you cut 'em, drain 'em, and insert Koni's in them and and that's it, you never think about 'em again

 

The stock struts are modified to become the housing which holds the Konis. Think of it as turning the strut into a sleeve which you insert the new Koni into.

 

I think you're confused. You do not destroy the shock and you do not insert Koni in the front shocks. You cut the front struts and insert Koni into the strut housing. You can't insert a shock into a shock

 

You have to remove the rod from your stock housing (cut it off) Think of it like a empty fence pipe and you slide the koni in it. you drill a hole on the bottom of the housing and then you use the bolt it came with and it holds it together now you have a shock again. Got it?
