    For what it's worth, it just cost me $242 to rebuild ONE Koni.

    (That DID include shipping of 4 struts and springs from one stat over, though.)

    Unless this setup is the bee's knees, i will not be rebuilding it again, and will be going with a Bilstein-based setup next time around, or giving the KSports a shot.

    As someone who has made the mistake of getting k-sports in the past, I'd reccomend against that.

    I had them for about 15k miles, in that time 3 of the cartridges blew out and had to be replaced, the ride quality was complete garbage, and the "adjustability" of them was an absolute joke.

    After riding in cars with a koni/gc style setup, I will never do cheap coilovers again.

    How long ago was that? The new "black bodied" KSports are nothing like the old ones, from what i've seen.

    Yeah that was the orange body still. Those were junk.
