    What to replace with Koni's!

    I am getting Koni adjustables fitted to my car in the next week or so. What else would you reccomend getting replaced while this is being done? Any bushes etc? Im not the best mechanically minded so i dont know what has to be removed when fitting konis.

    Topmounts, wishbone bushes and bottom ball joints if it needs them. The bumpstops and damper gaitors will probably be shot too.

      How much extra labour would it be to change all those bits?

        Apart from the ball joints, nothing as everything else has to come off anyway. Labour should be about 4/5 hours to do all four dampers, then at least another 2 hours to do the tracking and you should get this done again after 1k. To do both front bottom ball joints should take about 1.5 hours tops. HTH

        Edit, I didn't notice wishbone bushes, to do both front wishbones with poly bushes should only take another hour or so whilst everythings apart, OME bushes will take a little longer as they have to pressed in, unless you buy new wishbones which will come with bushes installed.
