I'm installing my koni's today, and I'm confused.

On the fronts, where does the large washer go that comes with the koni's?

Currently I have the factory lower isolator in, the strano spring, the factory upper rubber spring perch, than the large koni washer, and then the lock nut. But I think I need to reuse the stock rubber piece that goes in-between the upper shock perch and the control arm...

help?!

The large washer goes between the top hat and the rubber upper mount.

This is the top hat: http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/...n_top_hats.jpg

Are you talking about this rubber piece?

Or is this the rubber looking piece your talking about:

It was this rubber piece. I got it figured out in time.

I put the large washer in between the top hot and the rubber piece, and then put everything back the way it came off the car.

One side was easy, but the passenger side upper shock nut had to be cut off. Talk about rusted on!

What koni's did you put on? Let us know how you like them. I think this might be my next upgrade.

I put on the Koni single adjustable shocks with Strano springs. With 90,000 miles on the clock, she still had the factory shocks on her... which were in rough shape.

So far I am extremely happy with this combination! I drove it for about 30 minutes this afternoon, and it definitely handles much better than before. Stiffer than stock, but not harsh.
