I found I set of rear koni's and wondered if they were worth pulling off the donor car. Let me know guys. Thanks

The yellow koni's are quit a lot stiffer than the origininal dampners. Don't be tempted to screw them to the tightest setting if you have original front dampners. Then it will feel like your front tires are flat and the handling is really weird.

Either koni yellows (sport) or reds (orange?) would be worth it if the price is right. In good shape I wouldn't pay more than $100 or so, probably half that for "regular" wear, anything less would be a good deal. Last set of koni sports I bought new for $80 at a swap meet. (Haven't seen anything close to that before or since though...)

But, point made that your suspension is a *system* and you'd need to install something by way of struts that will work with those rear shocks..., don't forget matching your sways up too...

They are the red ones and look pretty nice they would be 15 dollars for the set at the junk yard!
