Just wondering if anyone would be interested in purchasing already cut struts in order to install the Koni fronts. It seems that the deciding factor for most, is the extra step(s) involved with the Koni install. This way you can keep your original struts and not have to worry about messing the procedure up. The price will depend on how much we can get used struts for. I've heard anywhere between free and 50 bucks. Lemme know if there's any interest. I'm guessing the price will be around $75-80 shipped per set.

 

Your such an entrepreneur.

 

INTERESTED!!

Here's a pic of what it looks like cut.

 

hey Nick ... so after you have them cut like that.. you just put the koni shock inside of it? how does the koni shock stay there?

 

You drill a hole in the bottom of the old shock and use the bolt supplied by Koni to secure the strut.

 

wow it sounds easier than i had imagined.. i thought it was a tedious process.. that sounds easier than tail lights

 

Yeah, it really is. Assuming you have the proper tools, modifing your stock shocks and installing the new Struts into them shouldn't take more than a half hour (at least that's what it took me, with 1 other person helping).

Of course then you have to get those into the car...

Everything always sounds easier than it really is.

 

the strut install is not hard for me.. i have done tokico's and h&r's .. its just the moddifing of koni that got me scared... from the looks of it.. it looks easy.. cut the stock strut then drill a hole in the bottom of it .. put the koni in.. and then bolt it up with the bolt provided by koni..

 

That's it! The right tools will make a big difference. I had a pipe cutter, but I would think just using a hacksaw would be a lot harder.

Its really not that hard to do.

 

maybe i will work with my drummel or i am going to complain to home depot.. since its the all doing hand little tool

 

We used a 5 amp drill to drill the hole in the strut. You need a pretty strong drill. Then you put the koni in, put the screw in from the bottom and when you thread the screw it pulls the koni into the strut. The koni has these little bumps on it to prevent the insert from going in all the way. When you pull it in by threading the screw, the Koni is forced into the strut making it a very tight fit.

 

I'd be interested. Dunno bout 80 bucks though.

 

We used a Dremmel on mine. . . I think we ended up using like 5 of the cutting blades though. . . It just takes a while, but probably not as long as a hacksaw.

 

I can imagine. I definitially think a pipe cutter is the way to go. It took two of us (one to hold it still) but it was pretty damn easy.

 

I did a set at Matthel's place and it took about 45 minutes with 2 discs. We're improving!

 

Hey Kev, did you use the last of the discs I bought to do mine? Whose car did you do it for? Do you have Koni's on yours now?

 

Tools tend to break during mods. We broke a couple things. It was very frustrating.

 

sawzall works much better

 

I liked the pipe cutter
