koni adjustables
Opinions if the following is worthwhile?
http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehi...AdIdZ196353955 I'm not sure the front strut bar would make any difference but I think the koni's would make the handling a little better. |

See if you can just get them real cheap.
That way if something isn't right you aren't out a lot of cash. |

Those look pretty rough. Personally I'd spend the extra money and buy new.

I tried to buy just the rears from them, but they didn't want to part out. Oh and my front Koni's were rusted WAY worse than those ones. Don't let the appearance fool you. I tore mine down, sandblasted them and now they look like new again.
As for the strut bar, I'd look for a solid mount one like my TRD 3pt brace. It made a noticeable difference in steering response. |

One nice thing about Konis is they can be rebuilt, with custom valving, at a very resonable cost. We have run Konis for years, and won a number of Solo Championships with them. Great shocks for the price.
