UPDATED with Pics : Koni Yellows and Eibach Camber Kit are on the way!

Hey guys,

Finally ordered Koni Yellows and an Eibach Camber kit to complement my Eibach Sportlines. They should be installed sometime early next week. Total for everything, including the install was $899.08. Hopefully, the Koni's live up to their reputation. I'm also getting new tires put on this week. Afer reading most of the reviews at TireRack.com I decided to go with the Yokohama AVS ES 100's on the stock rims. Anyway, I'll post new pics when everything is installed, although I can't imagine anything looking different, except I'll probably have to wait for the springs to settle again. I can't wait though!!!

Well, they're installed. They do produce a great ride, but I think I need to get them installed on the higher perch because my front tires rub when I corner (and not even during a hard corner). They also sit a lot lower than when I had my stock shocks on and it was noticeable right away so I'm nervous that they might settle even more. I've read that Koni Yellow's only have 2 settings, so hopefully they're not on the lowest perch already.

They're being installed as I type this. I'll have a review later, to see if it was money well spent.

Looks great! The stock wheels look good w/ the car lowered. I'm getting ready to add some of the same mods and will keep my stock wheels, too.

Thanks for the info, MaCe. What shocks do you have installed and on what perch? I noticed you still have the front mud guards too. I had to take mine off cause they would scrape the road on hard turns.

Yep. I am seriously thinking of getting the front re-done/checked out because I really think it shouldn't be happening.
