ive been looking for a set of struts for my 1.6 ABS UK model mx3. ive seen a few sets but they all say for non ABS models. Are there any available?

failing that whats the difference between the ABS struts and the non ABS ones??

No difference, other than ABS struts won't require the use of zip-ties to attach the ABS cable to them. So you can get whatever struts you want, and just tie the ABS cables to them with something.

thanks, i had thought that it might be something simple like that, but didnt want to buy them and find out that they didnt fit.

which are the best ones to get, the tokico's or the KYB's?

In my opinion the Koni`s are the best.
They use the stock housing.

i dont understand those koni insert things have you got any pictures of them being installed or know where i could see some?

i want to lower it around 40mm (i think thats about 1.5"). can any mx3 springs be used with the kyb's, tokicos and the koni things?

am i right in thinking that cutting the top piece off makes it shorter, then the insert replaces the standared piston piece?
