Title: Suspension for 1998 GTV 3.0
Post by: spieret on July 11, 2008, 01:30:25 PM

Hi All,

Could I just pick some brains and check whether the following are the correct parts from Koni for my GTV

The part numbers from the Koni website are listed below

Front 8741-1404Sport

Rear 30-1608Sport

And also is $1200 a good price for the set.

Cheers

Tony

Yes, those are the correct part numbers. The price is also very good. I put the konis on my GTV 18 mths ago, leaving the standard springs, and the car was transformed. Rather than crashing through holes the suspension now does something. It is firmer but more comfortable. It also turns much more crisply into corners. There are Eibach spring kits available as well that lower the car 30mm, but for my driveway and speed humps in the suburbs, I need all the limited clearance that I have.
