koni inserts

[b20a86lude]

does any body know how to put the koni inserts in the original strut im trying to figur e this out the direction are all in german

[smufguy]

Check their website http://www.koni.com/

The instruction is in German? Koni is from Holland.

ok i searched all over and didnt find anything on how to do this

[shepherd79]

there are two types of inserts.
ones are designed to bolt to the bottom of stock strut and the other one just slides inside stock strut and you screw the stock top.

can you take a picture of what your inserts look like?

[Vanilla Sky]

yeah... where do you get koni inserts? even with you in a lude, aren't the suspensions very similar?

[shepherd79]

what i don't understand is that koni inserts were only available for 2G lude.
there is a chance that they may fit accord struts.

[Vanilla Sky]

alex, it's worth a shot... maybe someone can rip two struts down and measuer things and see if the koni inserts will fit... do they still make them? if so, that would most likely make properly lowering a car a good deal cheaper (last time i totalled it up, it was about $1200 for GCs and bilstiens)

[AZmike]

The inserts are used on the rear of the Prelude, which uses struts--unlike the Accord upper and lower control arms with a coilover shock. I doubt the Prelude parts will work on the Accord.

ahh

i guess it would be helpful if i pay attention to cars at the junkyard when i'm putzin around with em, eh?

(AND those are not our struts but it shows all the peaces you need)

[b20a86lude]

i just have the rears and i dnt have the 4 rings

[86LXItooFAST4me]

lol, youre in the same boat im in then. you need to get the rings or buy some coil overs. anyone know how to get the rings???

[AZmike]

You could probably order just the spring perches directly from Koni.

[smufguy]

wait what 4 rings are u missing? if ur missing the spring perch (spring cups) then u can order them seperate from Koni like mike said.

THe first pic has two small rings on the bottom, those are ride height adjustment clips. my 4g had it along with its springs.
