got my konis & eibachs installed

my god does it look sweet. i posted a day or two ago that the install was done, but i was out of town. apparently the back is settling now. it only looks about 1" down in the back, the front is very very low. has a raked look to it. i have the konis on the softest setting. and it feels pretty much stock. cars handles great ... gonna have to get sways here pretty quick ... tires were singing all the way home

Finally fbazakos, I've been waiting for you to change your sig to installed springs! Congratulation dude! Had my back seat out at least a month figuring out where to set shocks. I noticed the rears have more settings than fronts. I went with 10 clicks rear to 8 clicks front. I bet your happy with that lowered look! Cheers bud!

Imagine what it will be like with the sways and good rubber. I highly recommend the Toyos. Good luck !

fbazakos, Welkome to Klub Koni! BTW, I run with my rears set slightly softer than my fronts. It's amazing the difference in handling you get as you increase the stiffness of the ride.

So you can adjust the Shocks without pulling them off? I am clueless on them. What about the back ones...you have to tak out the seat to adjust them? Thanks

yeah the koni yellows are ride adjustable. the front are easy, but to get to the rear ones in our car, you have to take out the back seat. great investment, along with eibach pro kit, kept my rear about 1/2 in below stock, and the front is slammed.

I thought the pro kits were supposed to give an even drop? How har is it to take out the rear seat? Sounds like you like it very much...post some pics when you get them.
