Front koni install

Well i will honestly say this was as easy as an oil change...all the babys who cry "oh no not inserts" are just that, babys. This is easier then installing new rotors & pads. Altho i forgot to suptract 7mm from the 44mm to allow the bumps to go inside the housing i just filled the space around the insert with some foam gasket so it should be good to go. When i do the other side tomorrow i will remember to subtract 7mm

Good to hear. I will probably do this mod this summer.

What is this whole "subtract 7mm" thing anyways? Is it just something you have to see to get? lol


Oh, and I already bought some cheap 2.2 struts so my car will have hardly any downtime.

If its so easy why couldnt you do them both in one day?

And theres no point in buying an extra set of struts. you should be able to complete the front with in 3 hours any who. I did my fronts in about 3 hours and that was working by myself taking my sweet ass time with a nice lunch break
