Koni's are well worth the money

I've got the Koni's front and rear with stock springs in my ST24 (I've also got a larger rear swaybar). The difference is amazing. I've got the Koni's set about half way and the cornering is so much flatter and secure, plus the ride is actually better with them on the softest setting. Worth the money!

Here's a pic:


I imagine the ST24 springs would be very similar to a SVT's.

Sweet. So I will notice a difference even though I have the stock sway bar? Thanks.

One more quick question. How exactly do you adjust the struts? (Where are the knobs?) Thanks

I put the swaybar on first (a Whiteline 20mm one). It made a bit of a improvement to handling, but the biggest difference was the Konis. They gave me the confidence to throw it into corners without the fear of it biting back.... Before the body roll/ sudden weight shift in tight corners was very disconcerting.

The adjuster knob (which is fitted to the top of each strut to adjust them) will need to have the outer lip trimmed on it to reach down into the rear strut towers, but apart from that you shouldn't have any problems. I can E-mail you a pic of the modified knob if you're unsure on what I mean. There may also be some sort of foam covering over the hole in the top of the rear strut tower- just rip it off or cut a hole in it.

No biggie. I'm just trying to get input. Still considering the Konis. They do sound sweet.
