CaughtLikeFire Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 got it if you run them really stiff from day one and are using higher spring rates, they'll wear more quickly. On stock springs, you can get 100k miles +. On aftermarket, you'll begin to notice a drop in performance between 60k and 80k depending on the spring rates you use. Then you can just send them to be rebuilt for ~$125 each. it varies from car to car but I've noticed that around 75k miles is a when most Koni users (this is from talking with Honda, VW, Porsche drivers with aftermarket spring setups) notice a drop in performance and choose to have them rebuilt.I should mention that although the Koni internals are great, the paint SUCKS - get ready for chips and surface rust galore. I've repainted every set of Konis I've owned as soon as I bought them to keep rust at bay. Sandpaper + Rustoleum Professional primer + Rustoleum Professional flat or gloss black = :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prasamin Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Koni's are the truth in struts/shocks if you're mixing stuff up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
