Considering Koni shocks cost a bucket load =|

The coilovers IF they're still being made for AE111 will be expensive and the SSS should bust your balls like TRD ones =|

koni make an adjustable coil over kit, you just need to do some diy fabrication or get someone else to do it for you eg suspension work shop.
these guys in australia use that kit to make adjustable coil overs for ae86s

Here is your answer :o

Email
 
...Koni does not make a coil over kit for your car.  There is product listed for the AE111 but I believe it is designed for the normal strut. There is no reference to the super-strut design.  I suspect this fitment was Japan only.  Is your car a private import?

There is the official word right there XD

From what I can see, this web site has New Zealand connections, in which case the local Koni Dist probably did a custom made strut conversion.  We can do similar but would obviously need a pair of struts to do so.

Regards,
Barry
