What is the difference between a left and right front koni special strut? b/c i found some front left sides and i was wondering how hard it would be to mod if it needs to be.

the difference would be in the brake line bracket... other than that I think they are the same.

i'll second that. the only difference i know of is the brake line brackets. i'm sure it could be rigged up to use two left struts on the front, just figure something out for the brake line.

so it would work. I would just have to make a bracket for the brake line since it would be on the wrong side. I tried to find pics but no one has any posted of just the struts. Thanks :)

if you want i can take a pic of my struts..., they're the bilstiens but they'll look pretty much the same.

If you would do that it would be nice. I don't really think i need a pic as long as the bracket is the only difference, it would just give me a better idea of what i'm getting into(doesn't sound like much). So i could have it done before I lower my car some time in the future (maybe christmas break).

k, here they are(right and left). basically, one side will be angled up, and the other angled down, facing opposite directions. that'd be about the only difference.
