    Who is running short Koni's

    Who one here is running the short Koni front struts? What do you think about them? Any problems?
    My Front struts are blown, so I'm thinking if going this route, and then when the funds allow, going coilovers and shortening the housings.

    You mean the ones Koni says are for MTech suspension? If so, I have 'em. They seem fine-I've not had any issues...

        I have the GC shortened konis. I believe they are 4 inches shorter than the stock ones. They send you a spacer to compensate for this. I am planning on cutting 2 inches off of my strut housings and raising the perches up to give me more suspension travel.
        Supposedly these are also 25-30 percent stiffer than the regular koni SAs.

        Feel free to PM me with any questions.

          ok cool, thanks. so you've been running them for a while with the spacers? I guese my main question is do you noticed a differences at all with them when compared to a bilstein sport or such.

            I went from the H&R cupkit to the shortened konis. So I noticed a very large difference. No experience with the Bilsteins though.

                  These are ONLY shortened at the FRONT, correct? NOT shortened in the rear?
