Koni Yellow

Hey guys I'm interested in getting a koni set up for my car but I have a base model. I'm sure the base and SE struts are different so I'm curious to know if I can use the koni inserts with my stock struts.

If you are asking such a question, there are bigger differences that you need worry about...

SE/Base models have the same strut design. That being said, if the inserts fit for S13 or S14, they will fit.

I would typically agree with this but most retards on this forum would prefer ebay coilovers and would never take a second look at Koni or even know what to do with inserts.

OP, Grab your self the FSM for the s13, it has all the torque specs for all the suspension parts you will be taking apart. Good to have as a reference for any problem.

Is the right headlight bulb different than the left headlight bulb in the S13? I know where the answer is!

The mere mention of koni on here should result in an embedded link that takes you to nissanroadracing.com.

I should have clarified I own an s14. I guess I posted here due to nostalgia even though I should have known better. The average zilvia user would rather buy 3 Megan racing downpipes at 150 each rather than forking out 300 for an hks that will last a life time. I'll give Nissan road racing a look, thanks for the tip!

The extra 150 for the HKS does not give it a magical force field that stops road debris from destroying the downpipe. However, with megan, i still have two more! I think its just an average person in this shity economy is who you are talking about not just Zilvians.
