KONI struts for 88s were discontinued years ago, so what’s the deal now with running KONI shocks on the front? WCF sells them but what’s the point without them for the rear? Am I missing something? Are there KYB struts so I can run KYB all around?

BTW I found this: https://propartsusa.com/pro...ial-d-8741-1063-1377 How about those and running KONI shocks from WCF? I don’t know that much about the different KONI series and models.

Update: I found KYBs a full set for $250 shipped. It’s like $600 for KONI shocks from WCF and if that site is legit $400 for koni struts. So $250 for KYBs or $1000 for konis not including shipping. KONIs worth it? Older threads using the search seem to think so but for 4x the money? lol

Also, should I do eibach springs, coilovers? Haven’t given springs as much thought. The car rides very rough and the alignment is off and I want it nice and sharp.

See this thread and make sure to look it over. He discusses all the options and also tells you what is needed to install Koni coilovers in the rear.

I ran Konis on my 88 GT. They can be rebuilt by Koni, so if you can find an old set you could have them refurbished.

Nothing wrong with using different brand shocks on different ends of the car, but they need to be adjustable if you want to try and get them balanced and working together.

Buying from WCF is very hit and miss.

Sometimes you can wait a really long time for your parts - just saying.
