Thank you. the ride is more stiff not not dramatcly mor stiff than OEM. And YES, the cornering is much better as well as the braking.

Use the full potential of the set up. Dump it to the lowest perches for a day and then take a picture.

Thanks! No i was told by koni to set them 360 clockwise up from full soft. i feel a little more bounce than the oem but i love it you can "feel the road" more.

i will someday

How much did that run you if you don't mind. You can PM me that info if you like.. I was going for k-sports but may entertain the idea of GC's.. I always thought they weren't a great way to lower but hell, if I can dump it lower than that, I may just do it.

I just need the price on the koni/GC's.

Looks great, I'm obviously jealous.

Setup looks buttery Stella. Makes me wish I had a little extra money to drop on mods rather than maintenance. :-\

Looks great Jeff - can't wait to see it on Thursday

Looks great, is it just me or do I think the fronts need lowering just a tad bit more?

Really? I'm thinking of raising it up a tad in the rear. I rub a little in hard turns and I'm toed in in the rear too.

I'm installing the Koni's right now and I'm having a little trouble getting them in. Which ball joint is it you took apart? I need to somehow get the whole knuckle to drop and give me some more room...

looks great tho

I had the same set up in my legend GC and Konis and the driver side bottoms out somehow, probably i had it on lowest settings on the koni's. As for the GC to adjust them for the front i needed to use a plier to turn it up and down but for the rear it can be adjusted by hand. I think the GC sits the lowest.

What spring rates are you guys using? 350 front and 300 rear?

NANO · 02-13-10, 01:03 PM

looks great! i had the same setup on my coup.. makes a world of difference on handling and braking!

filmshoot · 05-28-10, 02:35 AM

I finally installed mine today... full stiffness setting on the shocks.. It is a joy to drive. It no longer feels like a luxury car though, but oh well, I wanna have fun! this baby rides on rails.
