[Shotimes] Konis

[Donald Mallinson]

I have had both, and while I like the adjustability of the 
Koni's, and they offer both a softer ride (on full soft 
mode) and firmer in the full hard mode than Tokico's, I 
think the Koni's have problems WAY too often.  I have had 
three sets of Koni's and all three have had problems within 
two years of fairly low miles.

The Tokico's on the other hand have been on three SHO's and 
never a problem, and they seem to last longer than other 
regular struts.
