What sucks is The fronts were still perfect in condition but I couldn't get em off in time B 4 the car had to be taken away so I lost em..... oh well.... I'll get back to ya.

You can add me to the list now here are my pics to prove i have them installed. I currently have the rear set t to the middle setting which i think it needs to go one notch softer and the rear is (1) 1/2 turn above the softest setting and feels really good. I paired these up with CA#1 springs, progress rear bar, and DC upper bar. Cornering has never been so fun

They are worth every penny lol. I got mine from THMotorsports with some of my tax return when they had them on special for $615 shipped for the entire set. It sounds like a lot of money but when you break it down its just over $150 per wheel and they are lifetime warranty. You will never have to buy struts or shocks again and are great for lowered suspensions

The front koni struts are cartridge replacements. You have to cut apart the stock strut housing to remove the stock strut and then install the koni cartridge. When putting it all back together you can either use the stock springs or lowering springs.

I'm getting my koni's and Eibach Pro-Kit installed this Wednesday, besides an alignment is their anything else I should know or do? Should I let the car sit for a while to let everything settle and be easy on it first few miles, or it doesn't make a difference?

no, just make sure all the bolts are to spec. and it will settle over a few days. I wouldn't drive to hard just to let things settle then have at it. But get an alignment as soon as you can to save you tires.

I went half way on both fronts and rears. I think im gonna make it stiffer tho. Just a pain to do cause the redline struts mount up different on the tophat. The tophat needs to be taken off to access the adjuster.
