Koni STR.T - driving impressions?

[Tillerman77]

I am considering a set of these for my 97 Cobra. Does anyone have any driving impressions for these struts and shocks?

I believe those are the orange ones I have. 4+ years and 34-40k miles later, they're still acting like new. I was going to buy the reds, but they went out of production, so I got these instead. I love them.
My car is stock ride height, if it matters.

Thanks. My Cobra is at stock ride height as well, although the STR.T series also work for lowered applications.
Yes, orange Koni = STR.T series.

Got them on my lowered 98 GT with Cobra brakes. So far so good!

Ran those on our 06. Decent set up. It really helped the ride with the lowering springs. Which is saying a lot for the springs that were installed.

I used a set on my last Fox Notch, no complaints. I'm a complete fan of Bilstein but for the money the STR's are good.

Thanks everyone. I would like to be a big fan of Bilstein, but budget needs intervene.

Hey PinkieT, nice set up but the brakes look like they need more driving!

They had been sitting in the garage for two years before I was able to install them. Pic was while it was still on jack stands. They are nice and shiny now!

Fantastic, those horses need to run!

We have them on our S197 with a mild drop and they work well.

The car came with Eibach springs, which I'm not a fan of. I kept trying to get her to switch to something better, but she loved the stance.

I believe we have Steeda Sport springs on my wife’s car. It needed to be lowered a little more, IMO, but when she upgraded to 20’s it looks just right.

I don't know about the KONI'S. I have the KYB Adjustable Shocks I installed on my '03 GT back in '09. They have been fantastic on my Mustang. Did the TAIL OF THE DRAGON a couple years ago, and again at the end of this month. I'm impressed with them. Still feel like new from 11 years ago. Just a suggestion.
