Why Koni's? If you're not going with the factory adjustable shcoks, why not consider the Tokico Illumina 5 way adjustable shocks. they're less expensive and IMO, a better setup anyway. I could be biased though. That's what I have.

thats what i have now, the tokico illumina 5 ways. the front ones blew out on me. i hear thats not too uncommon for tokicos. from my research, konis are damn good, and damn reliable, and they are guarenteed as long as i own my z, and thats gonna be a long time.

B/c he can play with the adjuster **** and screws all day long and act like he's adjusting ride before he drives. Then he sits on daddy Rizz's lap and pretends to drive.....right after he's done drawing him pictures. JK JK...isn't it great how we make fun of each other. Now that's a true Z family!

I could picture Wrecker sitting in his Z in the garage pretenting to drive it. Vroom, vroom, screech, vroom, etc. Does the car even run right now?

when you order a set of konis, does it include the springs? the picture on boost-solutions.com shows springs...

Not unless it's a kit. You can buy the combo.

$150?! I hope you mean per strut/shock! What kind of springs are you putting on that hot NA of yours?!

A set of 4 Eibach Pro was only $200 for me. He's not that far off at $150.

same here i paid $200 for my pro kit as well.... what i was saying is if you are buying a combo they will probably cut you some slack on the springs, so for the whole combo it will be like $150 more than buying struts alone
