hello,

Im about to install the prokit on my mazda 3 hatchback which has 96k on it, i read that some people have no issues with stock struts/shocks and others have to change them sooner rather then later.
im leaning towards the koni yellows.
so these are my questions:
- i put about 40-45k per year, how is the longevity ( life ) of the konis.
- i know i cant expect them to last forever, and some point i would have to get them rebuilt. how much are the costs to get the rebuilt?
or when my stock ones die, should i just buy another set of stock ones until they die

i just do normal street driving, and just like doing things right once

thanks for the advice

The konis have a lifetime warranty

hey loki,
so you are saying, that if they ever do go bad, i just send it back to koni and will rebuild them for free?
i wonder what their turnaround time to rebuild is, im just asking.. just to prep myself to what may happen down the line

Koni yellows are a great shock. That said, if you are not going to be adjusting them to increase or decrease stiffness, you may want to consider the Bilstein B8.
