Actually I was going to use something like this:

I grounded down a 1/2" to 3/8" socket to look a little like that. Did wonders on the ex-GTI. Also helped with the Contour when I pulled the strut to take out the CV shaft.
If you are going with Koni's, look at
AJUSA. The struts are $630 with free shipping, and if you google 'AJUSA coupon' you can find a code for $30 off.
