Sorry I cant help you there but because of the Name, and the Price I think its safe to assume they are good. Koni doesnt make junk. Wish I had the money so I could buy them and let you know how they are

Saintse36 had his ti fitted with the Konis and he had no issues, he acquired the car with them and the guy that he purchased the ti form was a track person and that is why he went with the Konis. It is safe to say that the Konis are good.

I have Koni's, but I didn't reply because they are different from those. A lot of people use koni inserts with different shock bodies..


The only problem with that set may be that they are using cheaper springs to keep the price down....

Double adjustable. The ones with the adjustment on the top and bottom. No need to have to spin the shock body for the second adjustment. I think only tckline offers those though.

TC Kline uses a Mustang SN95 rear shock for it's DA rear shock. The fronts they use a VW Corrado Strut insert which is shorter in length but not dampening ability.

Lot of info on said set is available on www.e30tech.com But that is e30 specific. As far as the fronts go I am unsure.

Also if you google Koni 1150-5006 it will list alot of stores that sell them.
