Ok, so they arnt great quality, but u can see them, and also the dc strut bar. You can also see the little nub thats adjustable on the springs!

 

nice i need some of those, how is the ride?

 

its great! i have them all the way turned up to firm. and they ride so good, i mean u feel the bumps, but u can feel how great it handles on the windy back roads. i like them alot.

 

gaaah!! struts arrive on the 27th....man, all ur threads make me impatient

 

can you make them really soft so if you want a nice ride you can? I dont like hitting bumbs and my girls head almost flying into the roof everytime

 

You can soften them up a little, not quite all the way soft like the stock ones but close.

 

jsut leave them how they are when they arrive, there on the softest settings from factory

 

haha i have them all the way firm and i feel everything! but when u take a windy back road they handle soo good! i love them!

 

i want them... hows the install? PITA?

 

How do you adjust the rear shocks though?

 

i have to take it back to where i bought them to adjust the rears, but its very easy and free for them to do it for me! i liek them alot!

 

so the rears aren't externally adjustable?

 

^^ good info to know, I do autocross and do my suspension tuning in the canyons, so would like to be able to do it myself externally. I think I'll just save for a set of CA adjustable coilovers (complete with ride height adjustment) Out of curiousity though, how much do the konis cost? The sportline springs with OEM dampers I have on there now do okay and are pretty predictable, but I don't know if I can handle the rough ride around town much longer since it's my daily driver. would like to make it soft for daily use and hard for track/canyon use.

 

The Konis Front And Rear Cos T Me 900 Out The Door Installed! I Love Them Though! The Ride Is Awsome!

 

its about $650 plus install

 

Screw paying for install, if you have a sawz-all or band saw or even a hand saw would work its maybe 2 hours of work.

 

I want these so bad. Are these things like the old school 5-way adjustable konis? I had a buddy who had those on his 93 Cobra stang and that car could handle.

 

Damn you could get coil overs for just a few hundred more.

 

That's 900 installed he said. They are a bit less then that, you are going to have to factor in that it's going to cost a couple hundred for someone else to cut your factory struts to fit the Koni cartridges in and do the rears.

The rears you can also do yourself as far as adjusting goes. Just need to pop the back tires off and the shocks are held in by two bolts, un-do those then make adjustments, bolt back in put tires back on and your done.

 

You can do everything yourself. I was amazed how easy this was to do, if you have the right tools. See the how to. https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...highlight=koni

 

that sucks i got mine for < $500 shipped from ebay, different sellers of course but it pays off to wait and find a deal
