Anyone using Koni yellows w/the stock springs?
Thinking of putting the stock springs back in and putting some Koni yellows on. Anyone else done this? If so, which perch did you use? Pics?

I was thinking of doing just that but I'd like to see some pics first. Also, I'm concerned about compressing the springs too much since the springs are progressive.

also you mentioned the "bumpy" ride from the comps...if it's bumpy you might not be unhappy with the springs as much as the shocks ability to dampen the springs .

So you're thinking the problem was with the OE shocks not being a good match for the lower springs and that koni+CT will give a better ride quality than OE shocks + CT springs. right?

I thought about running yellows on lower perch up front and possible just leave stocks in there rear. That would lower the front .5"

that's not my understanding...if you use the standard yellow's with three perch settings,it would lower the car 20mm's ,using the lower prech

Why wouldn't you keep the springs and just get better shocks???? I think I'll lower every car I buy from now on...I HATE the 4x4 look on a car
