dub-se7en Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) Hi all, My Koni's have been on since 2003 and are beyond knackered, The springs are just as old and everything could do with refreshing, can you still get Koni Suspension? if not, whats the best bet? Would consider Coilovers but need to be suitable (ie not rock hard!) also, want to keep my current ride height if poss. been out the game a while now so don't know who's still doing what and what's available.

5e colin Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) fronts are always inserts i believe the rears are always full shocks thats what ive been told when i bought my konis i was suprised to https://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performance/shock-absorbers/car/toyota/starlet-96-99/1997/koni-sport-shock-absorber-rear https://www.fensport.co.uk/parts/toyota/starlet/1-3-turbo-ep91/chassis-tuning/ep91-koni-top-adjustable-front-shock-absorber/ https://www.dcperformance.co.uk/cheap/272964/toyota/koni-sport-rear-dampers/8040-1216sport.html other option is bilstein Edited January 10, 2018 by 5e colin Quote
gorganl2000 Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 yeah...back in the day i had wished they made "full" front shocks...as konis are decent shocks on the starlet Quote

gorganl2000 Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 exactly....i've always hated the messing about with cutting the front shock and having to use back part of it...it just takes up time and sometimes extra money Quote
dub-se7en Posted January 11, 2018 Author Posted January 11, 2018 Fensport! that's where i had them from originally, nice one. will get some ordered. Quote
dub-se7en Posted January 11, 2018 Author Posted January 11, 2018 The Bilstein stuff looks tempting too, it was top notch on my Evo VIII Quote
