Sup PeOpLe~! Just wondering, I know the ground control coils wont fit with the Koni shocks, but I've been looking for a set online. CourtesyNissan only sells them alone and for $$$BANK~! But anyway, onto my real questions: -It says that the Koni only made INSERTS for the 240, is this true? I've had a set of TOKICOs and they werent "INSERTS". I also went to the KONI website and they had instructions on how to install their "INSERTS".

-I know that the 240s come with McPherson struts in the front, and this is the only reason I can think of as to why you'd have to drill the strut to fill in the inserts. Has anyone installed the KONIs? And to you really need to drill out the original sturts/shocks?

Thanks~!

The Ground Controls WILL fit the Koni's!!! They just haven't updated their website. The part number is 6065.03.

They are inserts in the front but not the rear.

The cheapest I've found them for is $520 for the set from http://www.importhorizon.com (I ordered mine from there).

I will also be installing them w/ a set of camber adjustable HKS pillow ball mounts...I will post a review of the install w/ pics when I do it (hopefully next weekend, but with the holiday, maybe not till the following).

Good luck.:)

Sure thing. Any particular areas? Also, remember that my car is a tad different in the rear being that it's a HICAS car.

Just some basic install pics would be great. I've got a few of the T/C rods, etc...ONc ei decide to put inmy bushings(NISMO sub-frame and front lower control arm), I'll be taking pics of that so I can show people where, and what is involved with it.-chet
