When I was looking for a suspension upgrade on my MZ3, I noticed that the Koni Special McPherson strut insert bolted into O.E. housing after
cutting top and removing old internal parts.

What exactly do you have to cut and what part do they use from the orinal one ?


They're a little more expensive (got mine for $400 with tax and shipping incl), but they also feature full adjustability.

The shocks will lower less than 1/2 inch as opposed to the bilstein's raising the car an extra 1 inch.

Therefore, when you combine the koni's with the H&Rs you'll get a little less than a 2 inch drop.

I would suggest, however, that you check out the H&R or Koni coilover kits if you're looking more for ride height.
