direct bolt in would be nice. do you mean one of these arent really interchangable?
Konis require part of the stock setup to be used for the front struts...
Tokicos do not... They are full replacements in the front...
I'm partial to Tokico
If you end up choosing them and want a good price, email or PM me.

thanks jason. i will probably go with the tokicos now, and ive rode in a cavy with the d-specs and it was very nice.
I would honistly have to say go with the koni's ... they are an AMAZING!! strut... im kicking my self for selling them and getting the B&G coilover set up.. they were so much better...
honistly to install the konis its not hard... if you have a hack saw, drill and a tape measure your set...

you actually need to use the front AND rear stock struts in order to get the yellows to work.
for the rear, you have to tap off the spring perch thats pressed onto the strut housing and then place it onto the koni shaft (the koni shaft has an indention in it and has a steel ring that is tapered to sit into this indention and holds up the spring perch.
for the front you need to physically cut the strut in half and remove the 'guts' leaving just the strut HOUSING behind. you then put the koni strut INSIDE the stock housing and bolt it in.
the rear strut mounts need to be drilled out too on the konis to accomodate the larger strut shaft...
that being said, i still love my konis. worth the time and effort!!
hell yeah koni's rule well bilsteins do but kinda hard to find for j-bodies
mantapart used to sell bilsteins for our cars, but good luck with them.
^^^^ yeah no kidding. not worth the risk and they won't do COD. I might just call bilstein myself
Go with the d specs. I have the D Specs and Intrax Springs and I love it.
Has anyone been in both? Or is this just one man's opinion with only experience with one strut?
Also, how smooth of a ride are the d-specs vs koni's? I am gonna put them on my girl's car and she really isn't into the bumpy ride idea. Honestly, she would rather I leave the car alone. lol! Fat chance of that! She is lucky she isn't getting an air ride setup!
Any ideas?
