Default koni struts?

are there are koni adjustable struts for the 1.6L 4 Door 00-02 Accent?

are there any struts of the same quality available?

edit:: my whole question was about finding out some prices for this equipment, anything under a grand is an acceptable price range for me.

I may go with the kore race coilovers if that would be a better idea..

help!!, lol:

koni can get them for you, BUT they are a special order. This is what they told me. They have never been test on a american spec, just european. www.shox.com will be the one that would be able to get them give them a call for pricing.

The road to getting my hands on some seemed to long so i went out and bought air strut suspention. thats my 2 cents. Hope it helps.

i havn't got to try my air struts yet there still being finished. i'll let you in on the info when there done. They cost $1500. They were custom made to fit my car. Great Lakes Custom in Saginaw Mi is doing them. The owners name is Kevin he's a close friend of mine. If you ever what air bags i have him do it. Just looking at his truck would have you convinced how talented he is.

If you want to buy my weapon-r's coilovers i'll sell them for cheap. Just a warning on the lowest perch your struts and shocks won't last a week. If i where you i'd buy the kore coilovers. They will give you far better handling than any air bag kit.

the price on the kore coilovers though

I may just go with a strutbag kit for my car, i found a price here in atlanta, for $1608, plus installation, we have a good shop here too, called "The Hack Shack".

Im still not, im not really into racing, of course i wanna go faster, but i dont care to reach sub 12s on the track with this car.

How much do you think the Kore Coilovers are? If your saying the price, but yet your gonna pay $1600+ for air suspension? Although if your not really into racing or care about handling to much, then the air would much easier to adjust than the coilovers.

well i wanted to keep at about a grand, but since its somewhat comparable and this car is more show than speed, i may go with the strut bags, but i wanted to get everyones opinion before i go out and buy anything.
