OK, so I'm progressing with my 5 lug upgrade and jazzed that my car came with Koni red struts in the front. I finally get the inserts out of the old 4 lug tube and one has oil all over it. Damn. I figure I can get them rebuilt but then find out it will be $135 each plus parts and shipping. I'm guessing maybe $340 total.
As I'm doing my research it looks Koni only makes the yellow "Sport" strut now and it's supposed to be a better performance strut than the red. Performance Parts has the yellow struts for $190 each with free shipping. That's only $40 more than rebuilding the reds and I don't have to wait the 2-3 week turn around time. The question is are there other options that provide equal performance at a lower cost? This is going to be mostly an autocross, DE, and occasional weekend car. Performance is more important that ride quality. |
