Wow the rears look like cake to put it. Does anyone have pics of the adjustment screws for the konis of the front and rears? I have sportlines right now and I can't decide if I want to get konis shocks and struts or just get coilovers.

rears you just take off the car, compress them all the way, and turn whichever way you want depending on softer or harder.

that is with the knob to soften or firm up the ride. its just a little flat head looking then that the knob sits on and you turn it. but Koni's have a lot of adjustment space in them. i am riding around daily on them at nearly full soft. and its very close to stock ride quality except on bumps.

I have a question for you guys with Koni's. I have Progress lowering springs on my car. I know for a fact I DO NOT want Koni's in the front of the car. However, I want some in the rear for one particular reason. When my car is getting worked on and its on a lift. My springs have a tendency of just "popping" out of place. You would have the spring and the piece that joins the frame out of place. I wanted to know if the rear shocks are shorter than stock so I can avoid this annoying hassle.

Thanks
