Sure, its like 3am, and i just got home around 2am, but my freakin konis ARE IN.

Tons of work, im filthy.. time for a shower after i update my sig..

Way to go,Dave!

I'm glad you got them in.
So how stiff did you set the front and rears?

Wow..I just installed my koni's friday night

I was up till like for 4 am. The work is very straight forward by labor instensive. Placing the completed shock in gets really heavy after holding it a while and springs aren't compressed enough.

Another 5 hours huh?

At a boy, Dave! It's good to hear you didn't screw up on the cutting, better the pipe cutter than the strut. Thanks again for installing my Tokicos and H&R's. One more thing out of the way...now it's time to screw around with the lights.

Fronts are at like one turn, i think.. I dunno, i havent really had time to play with them. Rears, 1 turn off maximum.. and i think its too stiff.

I might change that later, but dunno when ill have time. But, i havent had that curse of the koni's thing you mentioned. I hauled a$$ today all the way to LA .. avg probably 105-110 mph .. tail feels fine, car just sits down real quick after bumps..

koni instructions SUCK SUCK SUCK .. cant stress that enough.

They're aren't any surprises when installing the rears? I can't imagine there would be. Should be straightfoward, no?
