Sounds good. Did you ever play around with the settings in the back? How does the car feel?

No i haven't changed the rears yet. The setting they have it on is good for me for daily driving. I've wanted to set them to full firm for the strip to see how it helps with the launch but everytime i went i didn't have time. If i do some autocross this year i might mess with the rears a little more but for now its good. But the car feels extremely tight and solid at any setting. But with the fronts on full firm you can take the in pretty deep on a turn and she loves every minute of it.

sounds good....thanks for your feedback. Hope that helps those who are wondering about the shocks and their settings. Let us know if yu do decide to change the rears and how it feels.

So I installed Sportlines and the Koni shocks today, Install is easy but its a lot easier if you have an electric sawsall (sp?) thats what I used to cut the top off the stock struts. The first one took me and a buddy about an hour just figuring out how to do it and taking breaks for beer. After that though it took us another hour to finish up on the other 3 corners.

I have both my front and rear set all the way stiff, the car rides like a gokart but I like it that way.

Thanks again THMOTORSPORTS

PM us when you are ready. We are hoping to stock a good number of these at this price if the demand is there.

I'm curious...why didn't Koni make a complete front strut instead of an insert? It seems that the use of a cartridge design would reduce the piston diameter due to the addition of the cartridge body's thickness.

BTW...what springs are you guys using?

Does Koni have housings/upper mounts available for the struts? I would rather not destroy my stockers seeing as they are still fine.
