the rear shocks have the turn knob too right? i just gotta pull up the floor mat in the trunk to get to them? or do i gotta pull the rears out to adjust?Keep it at full soft for DD conditions....this is what the koni oranges are permanently set to; perhaps should've gotten these to save some dough. I would only stiffin it up for autoX, but it only takes a couple seconds to change the setting of the struts. They give you like small knob adapter for the flat tip adjuster on the top of the strut
$350 minimum is on the lower side of normal charging. I'd expect at least $400-$450 for a coilover install from most shops.Hey everyone, just got my set of koni yellows with GC coilovers. I was shopping around to get these bad boys installed because i'm mechanically inclined. So a couple shops were offering 500+. the lowest I offer I found was $350. Is that reasonable?
What spring rates did you end up going with? What other suspension/tire modifications have you done?thanks all, Now i'm wondering you guys would recommend setting my konis at? being that i'm a daily driver. since they come out of the box already set to the full soft position, should i just keep it that way? or does it all depend on how low i want my car? i'm trying to eliminate wheel gap, nothing too crazy like rolling fenders or anything. would i be able to get away with that? or would i have to set the konis stiffer? or does lowering all depend on the coilover settings? sorry i'm still new! lol
The Koni's don't have knobs attached, they have these little slits at the top of the shock where you place the knob given to you over and turn to adjust. The shocks are all adjusted the same way.the rear shocks have the turn knob too right? i just gotta pull up the floor mat in the trunk to get to them? or do i gotta pull the rears out to adjust?
also would konis by default even on full soft settings still be able to hug turns like a champ? or would it not hug turns any different then OEM struts? cause i wanna be able to hug turns at a decent amount of speed without feeling like my cars losing traction or slipping.

But yeah, like others have said, if you have the tools, DIY. It's not too bad.

What setting you have your shocks at has no affect on how much body roll your car has. The shocks control the movement in your suspension and the Koni's are only rebound adjustable. A lot needs to be taken into consideration for maximizing potential grip. Such as spring rates, other suspension mods, type of tire, car weight/balance, pavement type, etc... For your average joe driving around on the street, just about any setting they feel is best will do. Unless you're an experienced driver, most won't know what the adjustments REALLY do. Of course you still get people saying they put them "full stiff" and their car handled like it was "on rails"....
