WTB: Konis 400-500 - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #2303 7 posts Started by coustoe
looking for set of 4 konis will pay 400-500 depending on their condition.
you prolly won't find used ones, unless they are broken, because the fronts involve cutting/welding to get them out. new will only be about 650 plus installation (~300), save up for those. you will LOVE them.

Isn't it was the rears that involved the cutting and welding? >wink.gif>

I remember that in my car the front KYB GR-2s I got were just cartridges and they were easy to replace.

They feel a lot like stock, but I feel more bumps and more of the road because of the springs. My handling is better though.

By the way, topic title edited.

the handling is better, but the ride can be rough if you have bad roads. suspension upgrades always get rid of the "floaty" feel stock cars have.
