I'm loving my koni's with pro kit springs! Huge difference compared to stock. 2 of my stock shocks were blown at only 85k miles. I did my front housings satin black. Wish I had done them gloss yellow to match but look fine in black.
So far my konis have been great. Cut excess off the housing so nubs didn't completely go in housing but so far so good. Checked alignment and no changes or sounds or any issues. Drives great!
I currently have mine setup 1 turn from full soft in front and about 1.25 or 1.5 in the rear. Feels good so far. I also have hotchkis bars front and rear. I'm very happy so far and think I'm done with suspension for this car now.
Pressed in my old shocks today and one is completely blown. Pushed it in and didn raise back up at all. Other 3 VERY slowly did. 85k miles. Pretty crappy oem shocks I must say! Never had completely blown shocks with that few miles before.
No wonder even with the firmer konis and lowering springs it still feels smoother and more comfortable of a ride than before!
Car feels great with the konis! No noises or anything. Rides smoother than it did before it seems and softer ride even 1 full turn from full soft all around. Maybe I'll firm it up a little bit more. Thought it would for sure be harsher! Very happy with them so far. Only did a couple of miles so far though.
Got a pass through socket set from sears. Tightened fronts no problem but I need an extension to do the rear nuts unfortunately.
Front and rear nuts are 17mm. Strut adjustment but is 10mm I believe. Couldn't find my 10mm but 3/8" worked which is almost the same.
