I just spoke to Koni as we sold a pair of fronts. Now there are just one pair of fronts left in Koni UK stock. Maybe none in Holland.
In the last two years, none of these Koni sport 'yellows' sold to anyone in the UK except RTOC.
STR-T were unreliable. Now they are made in Holland there are no issues, he said. He said they are the same hardness as the 'yellows' on softest setting.
