Two words--buy them!!! Do the sways and the shocks and you will have one of the tightest feeling cars you ever ridden in. I have my Konis cranked 3/4 and I think I still want them stiffer since I feel they have settled in just a tad. It does not ruin the ride one bit. The ride was much rougher with only springs and stock struts. It feels so good, light on its feet and responsive now.

You gotta love taking hard turns and hitting dips and have people think, "Damn the suspension on that S is super tight!"

Also, I've noticed that the Konis raise the back of the car just a bit so that the front and rear wheel well gaps are exactly even now. It looks a tad higher than when it was sitting on the stock struts with Comptech springs.

Oh what a ride! Suspension is a far better mod than headers any day of the week.

damn straight, the Konis are SUCH a huge improvement over the stock feel of the car...

and brakes would have to be the next mod you do, if you can afford it
