Koni/Whiteline

[starlybruiser]

Well im trying to decide what route to go down with the handling, and ive decided not go for coilys as most of them are proper stiff and normally more expensive, but ive been looking at the koni adjustable shocks on toytuning along with the whiteline 40mm springs, was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with these items seperately or combined? cheers guys, starlybruiser

thats the set up ive got on my glanza. its only the fronts that are adjustable and you got hack your origional front ones to get them to fit the new shock as they are inserts and the starlet ones are sealed. it is good once its done and is a little smoother than with coilys. but be prepared for some hard work fitting them. lol (p.s look at my thread and you can see the ride height on 15")

1. drill small hole, drain oil
   
2. cut 40mm off the top, out comes the old one
   
3. make the hole bigger at the bottom
   
4. insert koni, tighten it up
   
5. rubber sleeve
   
6. re-fit spring

i wasent trying to put him off or anything, was just saying it not like just changing a shocky and if your not skilled in bodging tools together cutting the top and uhe 40mm hole aint easy. at least thats what i think.

thanx for that asad, was close to buying a set a few weeks ago and dave b put me off it, as its not straight forward to fit them,

if you trim too much off your cuffed,

but those instructions will help imensly

Np......i did read another one and it seems the ammount you cut off is around 37-40mm

Another good guide
