Front struts

I have made the rear conversion to Koni yellows on my GD3, which I am DELIGHTED with, but can anyone tell me if they have tried the Tokico blues for the front, or if they have found a Koni or other brand besides KYB that fits? I'm talking OEM spring height.

Just to me,,, the feel of Tokico's seem to be a bit harsh in their performance line. Their valving is very binary..
Unless I got some smoking deal I'd run the KYB shocks for price and performance..

Another thought.. If you like the Koni's in the rear, I'd consider trying to get them for the front. They are usually lust a tick cushier than the Bilsteins and a little stiffer than a KYB, I actually ran a set of KYB's on a 911 for a while. They drove excellent especially on cobbled up roads.

The point of my email is that Koni doesn't sell a strut for the Fit specifically but I was wondering if anyone had found a way to fit another car's spec'd strut, like the yellow for the rear is spec'd for the Saab 900S.
