Removing The Illuminas, Installing Koni Yellows

Well I really enjoy the hell out of the Illuminas and will miss their ease of adjustment! The Koni Sports have an easy front adjustment but the rears have to but removed to adjust. There are no detents other than the lowest 0*(Soft) setting and the 720* (Full Firm) setting! The Illuminas were both easy as hell front and rear....So far the Koni's rear set is installed and set only to 180* Soft setting and I may try the 360* setting too see how it rides but the 180* setting really rides pretty compliant...The front Nissan OEM struts that have been in the garage for nearly 9-10 yrs just got cut so I can install the Koni inserts cartridge inside them, which are pretty Heavy Duty looking! These Koni's are a little less expensive but require more work to install with the Germans and all there little pieces that are involved in the installation! But every part has a necessary purpose! I hope they're more durable than the Illuminas and Since they are life time warrantied. I might buy another set just as backups....If anyone is interested in these Koni's Maybe I could build the strut assemblies to make it alot easier on those interested!
