Koni Struts Insert : Long or Short Body ?

[crazy_canadian]

Hi!
I am ordering my konis, along with a reinforced MM and new G3 SFB ( :hdance: )this week.
One thing I don't understand is the difference between the long body and short body. I order what? My 1995 MTX is all stock suspention wise.
Does anybody know the anwser, or know were to look at/mesure. I've read the info on the shonut website, but didn't really understand. (Yup I do not understand everything in that languange)

Thanks !

A 95 should have short body struts.

You can also buy the strut bodies prepared so you do not need to modify your own housings.

That's basically it, the extra length on the long units just sticks further below the spindle (and makes it a ****** to get out of the car...grrr).

The short ones make it too easy to hang a wheel up in the air on a corner, IMHO. I went with the longer ones for my 1995 just to get the travel. More important if you autox or do HPDEs, if you are trying to minimize cost on a 95 go with the short ones. zak

I have a question for you guys as well. Is it worth it to buy the konis aleady modified into stock housings if I will be buying coilovers at the same time?

FYI! if you plan on using knuckle braces(shonut) you might have some clearance issues with long bodies!

Actually, that's what the notch in the brace is for. Shouldn't be an issue as long as the notch is properly located.

If you want, we can assemble the entire assembly for you with the Ground Control Coilovers.
