koni shocks, got a question need some help

[civSI02]

im about to order the koni yellow shocks and the ordering page says make sure its a 50mm or 55mm outer diameter housing before ordering, so do we have the 50 or 55mm outer diameter?

I believe you have to measure it yourself, since there is variability even within the same model year. Not positive though. :)

Hey whats up, another Ohian here...where exactly is hamilton?

Yes...go measure. Use a string and wrap it around the strut housing (easiest way) then hold it to a METRIC ruler or tape measure. (Most yard sticks have metric on one side). But to the best of my knowledge....02 is 50mm, 02.5+ 55....er sumthin'....lol

another question this is really no way to tell the size you just have to measure it? do you think the 02 is 50mm fatty?

LOL...I'm not SURE what size your shocks are, but I think 02 is 50mm and 02.5+ is 55mm. Just go measure.

Yes..you WILL have to cut your OEM front struts in half, gut them, and re-use the lifeless strut housing for the Koni insert. Don't worry, with a Sawzall, it's NOT THAT BAD. 4 hours max for a DIY.
