You can get dirt cheap Koni front struts at http://www.classicgarage.com/rx72.html

That's where I got my Koni's. You can't go wrong for 45 bucks a pair!

That's a really good price.
There was a place called Custom Spares that used to sell NOS Konis real cheap, too. I bought a full set for RX3 a few years back for a little under $150 shipped from NY. But the Tokico Illumina shocks are hard to beat, if only they weren't so expensive.
