Hard to say, cuz I had the springs installed before the shocks. I'd say maybe .75 inches after the koni's were installed, but all together, maybe like 2.25 or so inches in the front.

I think the Koni's are height adjustable +- 20mm. The standard version has (IIRC) 3 perches, the Nuespeed version has 5 perches.

^^^Not really sure, what the exact settings were. You might want to ask RYAN97812. I bought them from him and loved the way it looked on his car, so he was Nice enough to leave them at the same settings.

Well, If I were to do it again, I probably would've saved a lot of money, since I had the shocks and springs done separately.

New Set of Comptech springs -$135 shipped [Thanks Excellerate]
Bundle package: Konis, greddy strut bar w/ accord top hats, and another set of used comptech springs for $500
-I still have the strut bar w/ top hats and set of springs for sale

Install for springs $150, struts $150 (should have been $100, because the guy had to cut and drill some things together since I didn't have all the brushings for the struts)

So in total: $935, but I'm hoping to get rid of the springs and strut bar for $250...so if sold $685


Hope that helps

Thats a kick @ss deal for the install. They are charging upwards of 400 just for spring installation in the Bay Area.

Thanks for all the comments guys. I've been driving around for about a week on them and they definately take bumps a lot better than my stockies, but I get more of these annoying "pops" and "clunks" when I go over speed bumps or sometimes random bumps in the road.

I spoke to the installer, and he said let it settle and bring it back in 2 weeks. Hopefully it goes away soon, if not, guess I'm gonna have him tighten up the end links and such. Anyone else have this problem?
