I got new shocks!!! Well, time has come. I am still using the original factory shocks front and the georgia air ones at the rear. The car is starting to dive a little more than usual while braking (with pro-kit!) so I had to do it.............
Ordered 4 Koni Sports (yellow) single adjustable and also got 2 aluminum threaded height adjusters for the rear from ground control (goes under the rear springs).
Any comments
on the Konis? Do you think it was a good choice for a daily driver?

WS6Freak- No experience with the Koni's, but have heard they are
good shocks. As far as the Ground Control ride height adjuster- make sure you use lot's of never-seize on the threads, and lift the car up to take the load off the springs before you try to adjust them. Trying to adjust them with the suspension loaded will only result in bending the spanner wrench and very possibly collapsing the threads which will basically ruin them.

What is the adjustment in these? is it similar to the QA1's with the adjustment in the dampening
Can these Ground Control ride adjusters be used with any spring? What do these cost?

Good choice on shocks. Just about anything with Koni written on it was worth the money spent. I personally would have opted for the DA version but the SA's will still work great for you. Once I get my car running again we will have to play a little cat and mouse down Seattle hill road into snohomish

I put SA Konis on all four corners last month and they are great. The Decarbons were in good shape but the Konis are much much better. Good Luck with the install on the front as they are generally frozen solid because of the design which hold water and GMs lack of any anti-seize on the threads.
