    Are there two kinds of Konis for our car?

    I just notice this when I was looking at Eric's W cardomain page..





    His front konis have seperate spring perches



    The one I have has perches welded onto the strut housing. (sorry only pic of the konis i have)




    here is another pic on the corner lol




    Is there a big difference between the two? I just was curious and thought I point it out to see if anyone knew anything more about it.

    Mine are separate too. Did you buy yours used? Maybe whoever had them before welded them on or maybe the shop did when they installed them (if you had a shop do it).
    No projects. Life consumes my time and money.

    I find it strange that the one I have has spring perches welded on and it has been painted too? Strange i'll see if i can get more pics later.

    apparently, even my dad says the perches were like the ones I have. He said the original konis we had on our car had perches welded to the front struts. I guess there are two different versions...
