Also on stock replacement shocks.


Personally, I thought about changing springs because the ride is horrible and the car scrapes on every bump in the road. Post a picture of your car with the koni's... how does the car ride? How long have you had the springs on your car?

prokit & bilsteins.

Do you have the arbor nut tightened down all the way on top of the strut mount?

im gonna go check the front shock and make sure the nut is tightened on top and i will also check which perch i put it on. two questions... would using the lower perch on the front be too low? can i remove the rear isolator even though i have the pro kit?

Don't use the lower purch on the shocks. It will be way too low and it will scrape like crazy.
