my prokit / koni setup

well i dropped the front end of my car and set the konis on the lower perch. DAMN!!! i have a .5" gap. and my car is about 2 - 2.5" off the ground! my rear is up in the air though still on stocks. i would like my front end a little higher. you think when i drop the rear it will raise some?? i cant wait to get u guys pics. its been so damn busy cuz of the holiday I havent gotten a digi camera yet. sorry.

Yeah, it should rise a little when you drop the rear, but not by much. It's like how the rear of the car rises as you lower the front of the car onto jackstands, but the front doesn't rise so much when you lower the rear onto jackstands.

Why'd you only install the fronts? Going for the musclecar look? :P

nah it was to damn cold for me in the garage. since i dont got to trim bumpstops in the rear im hoping they will be easier. the fronts were easy as it was cept for how much the oem springs were compressed. konis are not just plug and play. u got to modify a couple oem parts a little to use with konis. not too bad.

oh yeah forgot to ask, are the prokits supposed to drop that much or is it because of the shocks?

the koni yellows have adj spring perch so it lowered the car another .5". also i tried to do the rear and no luck. there is only one bolt and they both broke in half. i had to cut the welded not off the oem shocks and now i have to wait a week for new boolts from acura. damn! the front took me about 4 hrs. i also installed new poly bushings and coilspring isolators
