willisdaye Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I'm planning on installing Koni dampers and Rallitek springs on my 08 OBXT, and need OEM or KYB strut bodies off a LGT to do cut-a-strut with. Any condition is fine except rusty, since I will just be using the bodies / hardware. Didn't want to have to buy new ones, if someones got a set lying around within around 60mi of Portland metro area hit me up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozeRS05 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 I have a set of them I don’t need. Cut and drilled, fully refinish, ready for install. I’ll PM you a pic shortly.

shootz Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I have koni's in my OB front struts (if you don't want to go lower, you don't have to). PM me if you want more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pleides Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 If you haven't done this install yet, I'm in Beaverton and have the Koni and H&R springs set on my car. I love the combo, but I would never buy Konis for this car ever again. Too many failures of the front struts for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should check that your shocks in the front rebound and compress straight up and down (no side-to-side movement inside the shock tower). Both of my fronts failed within 30K or so.

BoozeRS05 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I sent him a set of assemblies already done and done. And I had a set of Konis that the springs failed before the struts did fwiw 1 EB's Subaru journal - 2005 LegacyGT Wagon & 2014 Forester FB25 (2008 specB - RIP) IG@legacygtliving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willisdaye Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share Posted November 15, 2023 Yeah my bad for not closing this out. Appreciate the offers but I'm all good now. Loving the konis so far. I've heard they last the longest if you don't set the damping to the upper or lower limit. I have them around the middle and am satisfied thus far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
