Koni STR.T Kit Opinions Please

[Cupraloon]

I'm still mulling over what suspension kit to put on my 20VT, and although I'd ideally like an Eibach coilover kit at almost £600 it's a bit out of my reach, when having just found this

I feel these prices are a little too hard to ignore, if like me your doing things on a budget, yes i know there will be some who will say "you get what you pay for" but Koni are a good name in suspension, and i was wondoring what people opinions or experience of the Koni STR.T kits was if any.... ???

I've done a search and it doesn't seem to be anyone using one.... Ummm

seems an expensive mod just to lower the car if you ask me.

I have Koni Sport yellow shocks on mine but dumped the springs from the kit and had Eibach Pro Springs fitted. Massive improvements in ride and handling which is exactly what I wanted, lowers the car about 15mm-20mm max only (despite what the spring kit claims) just a handy side product of the improvement.

i had my toledo lowered 45-50 mm with monroe standard shocks and some red
springs... will install a koni str.t tomorow hopefully
will get back to you on feeling if you want.
My car will be higher and, i think, softer... but i'll tell you how it will feel

i've lowered mine on a koni str.t kit. nice ride, not too harsh over bumps. good value for money. I'd recommend this kit.
