    Help with a performance front strut inserts for Koni housings (73T)

    I am having a hard time fining a more performance front strut insert for my ‘73T w/optional Koni suspension, S brakes etc. I really only see Koni Classic and I simply need more with my setup. Car is not overly done but setup for the mountain rally’s we do in the SE. I run 19mm torsion bars, 17mm adjustable sway bar and Tarett mounts. Rear is 26mm torsion bars, 17mm adjustable say bar, adjustable spring plates, new Koni rear shocks (find for now but likely to change). Rear is feeling good but need more damping on front.

    I had custom JRZ strut inserts and rear shocks on my ‘85 for Bilstein housings and loved them but did not want to change out the spindles etc. (tried searching but found more about an OE type insert than performance).

    Thanks!

    You could always start down the coil over rabbit hole... I'm picking mine up today. Boge struts with custom Koni inserts. Al forgot to get the # for me when it was apart. I did that mod many years ago and don't have the paperwork. I'll post more on the Alfa Brembo thread later.

    Next up for me is the rear. SWB shock options are limited. Suspension is similar to the OP but stiffer. Car handles flat but the fuel load does affect it somewhat.

    Truechoice can convert your Koni struts to externally double adjustable and re-valve them if necessary.

    Truechoice is no longer. Pull the existing Koni's and just rebuild them. After all they are just hydraulic cylinders.
