How hard is it to adjust them?? Do you have to take the wheels off in the back?

hmm I guess I'll keep mine half stiff front and the same on rears.. maybe it'll handles much better when I get that TTR rear swaybar

well if you have the stock tires, the way i have it set up now, the tires can't keep up with my suspension. not enough grip. but i will say that i handles like a cooper s right now. ( was test driving them with the optional sport suspension) and that is saying something. Though i may give them another half turn at the front but i am trying to feel how stiff the rear is and have them balance each other but i really need to just pull off the rear and adjust them.

I just bought some konis and sportlines, sounds like it is worth the trouble to install the fronts on my own? I will get some pictures up, when I have them on the car.

def. worth putting them on, its not as hard are it seems. you just measure and cut. then clean up the cuts. the only draw back is you can't go back to stock unless you buy whole new front struts.

Fronts are done via a knob on the strut tower....the rears yeah you have to take the tires off to get to the two bolts that hold the strut in. Its an easy job though i can do both in 5 minutes with air tools

How do you adjust stiffness on the rear strut with these?

Off topic question. Does anyone using sportline springs hears clunking/clicking like noise on their car?? I usually hear mine when backing up and cruising esp when hitting bumps.

Yes I do too. Only happens when I turn the wheels sharply at low speeds. I looked it up, one of the parts of the steering column or suspension wasn't lubricated correctly from the factory. It SHOULD be a harmless nuisance.

Anyways, I tightened up the rear struts today on the firmest setting and put the fronts all the way on firm as well.

**** YES!

Total **** guys! Took a pretty sharp turn going about 30 miles an hour today, smooth as butter and no loss of grip from the tires. I probably could have hit it going way faster!

yeah that I have that on the right front, it almost sounds like that springs aren't sitting just right. But i agree on full firm, the konis are a beast!!!
