favorite - strut/shock/spring combo?

[robert weinberg]

thanks Patrick!

how long did you konis last? my SHO friends that had them always had a problem with them prematurely dying compared to, say, tokico.

my tokicos lasted 80,000 miles before they finally gave out. i managed to total the car soon after that :-(
