sjwelna Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Thanks for the heads up, I'm going to order my set. I emailed them and they said they were on backorder, probably wouldn't get them for about a month. I'm ok waiting for a good price. -Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiskeyTango Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Are these plug and play? All you need is springs? They come with top hats, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackhore Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Are these plug and play? All you need is springs? They come with top hats, etc. No, need springs and top hats. Rears are bolt on, fronts are inserts that require you to cut up stock strut bodies with a hack saw or pipe cutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compsurge Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Konis are great. Not too bad of an install either. Be sure you have a 17mm deep socket for the final torque of the nut, a pipe cutter, and an impact gun. I paired mine with Epic Engineering springs (+ 3/8" spacer for the rear since I have a wagon, sedans don't need any spacer). Rear top hats are cheap - get them from Tire Rack. I reused my fronts and they are fine. DO NOT get replacement boots from Tire Rack. They don't fit. Reuse the original ones. I also ordered new front bump stops and conical washers, but I could have reused my original ones without any issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaggerWagon05 Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 did you need to use longer strut studs with the 3/8 spacer? i just orderd my spacers from www.fastwrx.com and i ordered the longer studs just to be sure! any pics you can post of your car with the spacers i wouldnt mind seeing what they look like even tho we have different springs.. and also do you HAVE to replace the top hats in the rear?

compsurge Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I got studs at Napa m10x1.25x29mm. You have to use them for 3/8 spacer. I made my own spacer from a sheet of hdpe. Stance is settling in, but it looks good. Not too low, but not high either. It essentially cuts the wheel gap in half with epics. Myy top hats were probably needing replacement since they were starting to make noise. They are cheap anyway $23ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaggerWagon05 Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 how many miles where on your car when you did the swap, i got about 65k on my car.. i will prob buy the top hats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compsurge Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 100k. From discussion with m sprank, the rear spring seats wearing is the reason for Epic "squeaking". I decided to not cheap out, and have no complaints. Also, I'm on my phone all week on business or else id upload a photo of my stance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
