Put in the Koni sport shocks

Finally found enough time to get these suckers on. Wow, its well worth the money I think. I got them set to the second level and it feels just right. Front and rear. Also i got another Inch of drop out of the shock. It has a retainer ring that can be dropped down. Takes 2 seconds to relocate it. The only problem i ran in to was havin to drill out the 2 rubber bushings at the top of the shock the 2 before the retainer nut. Bc the new shocks shaft is a hair bigger. I used a drill press with clamp. I'm sure it could be done with hand held drill just be careful. Over all easy job. I have Tein S springs and didnt even have to use a spring compresser to tie everything back down.

Doin some research on lowering my Stewie. I came accross this thread and I need someone to help me understand. Koni shocks can actually lower the car more than what aftermarket shocks offer?

Mugen NZ dampers minimum lowering is 20 mm and maximum, probably drag the body down the street.

Sorry didnt see your post. Yes the shocks have 2 diff setting that allow the perch for the spring to sit at stock level or about 1 inch lower.
