konis are awesome...but kinda a pain because they should be rebuilt every so often if you want the best performance.

Thanks for the reply, now when you say "every so often" are we talkin' 2-3 years or less. Also in order to rebuild will they have to be pulled and shipped or *could* I rebuild them myself. (I love the rear tire off the ground in your pic!

just depends on how often you want to rebuild them. If you dont care, you could get them rebuilt every 5 years, but if youre a stickler to performance, some of the more serious racers are doing it more than once a year, at 800 bucks a pop, and yes, you have to ship them to an authorized Koni service place.

the Mazdaspeeds are also adjustable....just a thought if you didnt know. They also dont have to be rebuilt.

i believe they have a lifetime warranty, but you might want to call Mazda Competition Parts about it. <P>but no, they cant be rebuilt.<P>The Konis also have a lifetime warranty, but CAN be rebuilt.
