Chickenman Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I'm about to send my spare 280Z front struts off to get converted to coil overs. Have decided on Koni's. What are the Pro's and Cons of the VW Rabbit struts ( 8641-1048Sport ) compared to Toyota MR2 struts ( 8641-1142SPORT )? Prices are the same. Is one better than the other ( valving ) or have a thicker shaft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenman Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Never mind. Found part of the answer. The rabbit struts are shorter than the MR2 struts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelsonian Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 So what did you end up deciding on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenman Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Koni 8641-1142Sport . 1988 Toyota MR2 rear shocks. $332 USD a pair from Trend Auto ( E-Bay Store ) with free(ish) shipping. Was going to get Koni 8610-1437RACE shocks. But live in Canada and take 35% hit on dollar. 8610's just not in the budget. Rabbit struts are apparently for cars that are REALLY slammed.
