Nice car man.

Im thinking of buying either koni yellows and ground controls, or koni yellows and either pro kit or H& R sports. How do you like your current setup/ Also,how much lower can you go with the prokit using the konis?

thanks. I love the konis as shocks - amazing performance and the adjustablity is great. You can adjust stiffness and where the spring sits according to the shock (perch). This is the lowest setting (my car) with the pro kit and the konis. You can get the eibach sportline which are more of a drop, or ground controls for full adjustability. My car is not "dropped" b/c I'd rather have performance than being "dumped".

can't get much cleaner than that! Good job!

So, how do you like the setup you have so far for confort? I assume the handeling is superb. So how many of these perches are they, and how low or high can you go. Im thinking of not going with ground control even though everyone swears by it, since i think i wont need to adjust it, and im not looking for anything low. Also, it cost more.

BTW, how much did you get your konis for? Cheapest i found is 450 shipped.

The comfort is pretty good considering the setup. Right now, I feel most every bump and its kinda rough, BUT I believe it has alot to do with the sway bar and whatnot too and that im running the konis on the stiffest setting. It also depends on where you live. But when I go on a flat road, it smooth, its just if theres a bump, you feel what the car feels. It really depends on you setup (other than the springs / shocks) and environment, but overall im satisfied with it. The performance is amazing, so it kinda outweights the bumpiness.

There are 5 "perches". 3 is stock (meaning your drop is however low your springs drop you). 4 or 5 would actually raise your car. then theres 1 and 2 which go lower. I believe each perch is about a 1/2" drop. So realistically, you could drop you car an added 1" to whatever the springs drop you.

I got mine for $380 picked up, new. This was years ago though.

Allright thanks a lot.

Ill get you a night shot in about an hour. Theyre the piaa 2500k. I love how they look and they are real nice and bright. I was looking at getting HID, but some good quality headlights and bright fogs work just fine.

I would drop it, but the drop isn't for looks, its for performance in which case, being the lowest to the ground isnt always best.

Thanks, I probably will
