Man those things are expensive ($260 for a set), but I'm sure they are well worth it in the long run. My stock front struts are complete toast after 60000 miles and riding on 1.7" drop springs. The struts have nearly no damping from what I can tell. My car sways and bobbles when I take entrance ramps at high speed..it doesn't feel safe. I can't wait to run the Koni's on their firmest setting when I'm at the track. Around town I'll probably run the 2nd firmest setting. I can't wait.

BTW, do you guys know if Coutesy Nissan is still selling the poly-urthane endlinks for the front? I figure now would be a good time to replace them since I'll have the suspension apart.

I found that by ~3.5/5 half-turns, they got stiff enough to actually reduce cornering traction on the street. They started to skip over bumps rather than track them. I'm sure 5 might work on a really smooth track, but certainly not on the street. Try 3/5 to start with.
