Koni inserts are universal and install into your existing strut body. Instructions are included with the product and there are several how to's ...like this one for example...http://www.druidhillroad.com/projects/koni/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

You do have to get the correct one for your strut. I'm not sure which one that is, but it's not new information.

Yep

Need to use the stock struts as a type of housing/mount since the Koni's literally go inside.

(doh you beat me to it)

I got mine from Corksport.

does anyone know the inside depth and inside diameter of the strut housing?, i'd take mine off and apart to
measure it but i can't really have down time since im using it to go back and forth from work right now

also, should i buy one with a stroke close to stock? or would it be okay to get one with a different stroke?
