Both my pics above are with the car on the same struts, and all that has been altered is the hole has been elongated in the Koni's NOTHING ELSE
The one with the Rondells in silver was taken almost 2 years ago and the one with the wheels in gold is from last summer.

Decided not to buy anymore Koni's, so I purchased GAZ for front and rear. So far all is well after 8/9 months. Gary told me that the steel they use IS thicker than on the Koni's.....and all is good so far. I know this beacuse I check my camber at least a couple of times a month with accurate home-mage guages.
Bonus is that the GAZ front struts and rear dampers have more adjustable settings (not just the soft/med/hard of the Koni's), it took a bit longer to find the optimum damper settings, but very good results in the end
Also with the GAZ you do not have to unbolt the rear damper to adjust it - so a lot easier adjust/fine tune, without even having to jack the car up.

The above combination when correctly set up is simply exquisite
Takes a fair bit of time to set up the damping (because of the large range of adjustment available) but IMO well worth the hassle.
