just got my koni installed...thx jay25.
unfortunately.....both shocks are not "officially" available for 5th gen. Cattman modified AGX fronts to fit onto the 5th gen, but the rear shocks are too big for certain brands of spring to settle into the perch (doesnt fit with 5th gen eibach) so some people are using 4th gen springs with cattman's modded AGX


Koni shocks are made for 4th gen and need to cut struts for the front inserts. rears are direct fit and the spring sit into the perch nicely.

??? koni fronts use ur stock strut housing so the eibach will sit nicely in there.

So this is what I have to do? the same thing I did to my stock shocks to make my Konis fit on the 5th gen as well??

if then I know what to do then, is not too simple but I can do it this would be my third set of Konis if I was to do it. Albert get that stuff from that dude on the for sale site and it will be direct bolt on. I cut the front coils if your not happy with your drop on the front. It will not bounce bcuz the Koni shock itself is much shorter....never mind Ill explain in person if you decide to do it then.

that's right....u can fit a 4th gen koni front into 5th gen strut housing...make sure u get a pair of 4th gen strut insulators, which will make ur life much easier

here is a link to my koni and eibach install
