1. Yes. I have no experience with the Sachs, but the stock struts/shocks are very good. I would pick the Konis over the Cuscos and Sachs, but I still think the stocks are really good. I'm on the...

Been there, done that, got denied... perhaps referencing the RX-8 is what kept the TRD and RX-8 in CS. Below is the letter I submitted last spring/summer.

It was nice meeting you a couple weeks ago. I know we discussed this too, but I think the TRD stuff is a middle ground between the 25mm Hotchkis bar I used 4-5 years ago and the Perrin 19mm I've used...

The Konis are pretty good and I assume you bought the full-bodied ones? I know it's been hounded on here, but make sure you get the washers from Koni so you're legal in CS.

The ND is a different suspension that nets a ridiculous amount of camber and ride height from the Konis. It's what it is.

I'm on Koni inserts from 2013 before the full body fronts were available. I guess you still get a bit more from the full body Konis even with the washers.
