Yeah the price has dropped a bit lately. Hopefully come spring it will do it again for me.

Are Konis better than KYBs?

Someone's debated that since KYBs are Japanese, they should be used for Japanese cars while Konis should be used for European cars.

But you can get Koni adjustables for about the same price, so which one is a better choice? Koni also has a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser, does KYB also carry the same warranty?

The Konis are harder to install. It is really a matter of personal perference, but the AGX's are easier to adjust while on the car as well (the rear Konis cannot be adjusted without removing the strut). I would stick with AGX's, which have had excellent results so far.

I see you have a Sterling Mist 99SE, which is exactly what I have. Do you have any pics with the springs and struts installed. Do you have the stock wheels? I am considering springs and struts this summer and would love to see it on essentially the same car as mine.

Thanks.
