I really hate to skimp on struts given the difference they've made in my 911, but $80 vs $400 for the front struts makes me ask the question - are the Koni's worth the extra money? Bilstein's for $140 each are probably a more economical option?

The PO put KYB's on my car. 100 Lb rear springs with F&R sway bars. The ride was VERY harsh. Every ripple or irregularity in the road surface was like hitting something, and PA is not noted for its fine roads.

A couple of years ago I replaced them with Bilsteins, it's a completely different car, much smoother and more compliant. Still firm, but not jarring. If $$ is a problem, go with the stock Boge units for just a bit more than the KYB's. Harvey |
