Aftermarket struts and Springs

Well I bought some springs , Suspension Tech's with a 1 1/2 " Drop , And i have some adjustable koni strut's that you can adjust with an alen key.

Is there any way the struts would work with the stock electronic adusting system?

And i also read a post in a thread about a clunking noise , if you dont replace the oem electronic adjustable struts , Is this true?

I don't think you would be able to adjust them with your existing electronic system. What you have to do is switch over to GXE suspension. I got most of my parts from a junk yard. Most of the stuff is just the stuff that sits on top of the strut right under the strut tower. If you did not already buy your koni's you could have bought all mine already assembled. Could have saved us both time. You will find that working the the rears in these cars is very enjoyable
