Talking

What's wrong with comparing and contrasting -- what's wrong with NOT shooting the messenger?

Because it's not comparing and contrasting the shocks. You're talking about two nuts.. not valving, or adjustment, or twin-tube vs. mono-tube... but two nuts that might cost $1.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread! I need some help, and I have seen multiple sizes given. What size is the stock nut that is needed to mount Koni shocks? I had aftermarket shocks on the car, and it uses a different size nut.

Use an open end wrench, and see what fits snugly. If it is 15mm, go buy the appropriate nut! To be safe, buy 2 nuts 1 size bigger and smaller.

I can now confirm size. I used 9/16"-12 hex nut with a 9/16" lock washer. Now, I just got to get it all buttoned up and start on the front. Long time coming, packing slip says I purchased everything in 2012 lol.
