Actually the Koni's are designed to lower about 1" with the EOM springs using the lower perch setting. The upper perch setting (which is the stock height)is designed to be used with aftermarket springs so as to not add to the the lowering amount of the springs.

They lower less than an inch. The wheel well gap is actually evened out well, with just that little drop. Rides a little harsh on Medium setting with rims on.

Due to the rear being lighter then the front of the car, I found if you turn the rears 1/2 turn softer then fronts it won't be as harsh.
For those who have them, what's your settings? I think I've set mine at 1-1/4 and 3/4 turns for f/r, respectively.

For some reason, I can't seem to turn one of the front ones all the way to hard. I dunno, ever happen to anyone else?

How do you adjust the rear shocks? Do you have to go in from the back seat or is the adjustment on the bottom now?
