FS Koni yellows

I've gone in a different direction with my suspension so these are no longer needed. The front struts are already installed into factory type housings, one less thing you need to do to get them on your car. They have 12 or so track days and only a few street miles on them and are as new.

You will notice one extra strut insert in the picture below. When I received the struts, one arrived DOA, the charge was gone and some oil had leaked out. Koni quickly sent me a replacement so the DOA insert can be used for extra parts.

$520 shipped anywhere in the contiguous 48.

jbweld? really? As a metal fabricator, jbweld is a bad word in my book. If you are referring to the dark gray substance at the top of the housing, that is silicon sealant. I did not trust the supplied rubber boots to keep the assembly sealed.

Like apples to oranges. These are adjustable and suited to higher spring rates.

The bolt on the bottom and the interference fit at the top. Koni's installation instructions are available online if you need more information.

sorry not tryin to cause probs lol
i have DA konis in my fc and they are phenominal shocks. ride extremely smooth. my setup is 9k (500lb) springs over 8611's in front and 7k (400lb) springs over DA-modified yellows in back, and they fly over traintracks without spilling my drink.

i was just asking about the struts cuz as far as i know, theyre supposed to be held in the housing with a gland nut. i didnt see a bolt on the bottom of yours so i was concerned.
