Re: Koni & GC suspension

what did you think about the koni's from the ebay site? did you think it was a good source? or is there a better source our there?

Thanks for the info on the gc's

edit: never mind they can be bought from the same place... btw are they reputable?

Spend the same money and get the best...

D2 Racing RS Coilover Damper Kit Ford Contour 1996-2001 D2-F16

Can't vouch for the site but the price is $50 more than what group member paid during a group buy a while back...

dont get the ksports from ebay. get them from ultrarev. then during checkout use the coupon "sale" and you can get them shipped for less than what ultrarev lists them at. IIRC i got them for $836.xx shipped

Re: Koni & GC suspension

you will need your factory upper mounts (even the contours need the upper mounts) but otherwise it should bolt on.
