Yes, there are 2 different positions on the front struts. The only thing for the rear is the heater hose mod. For what it's worth I tried the setting for the lower setting and it was to low. Went to the stock setting and it was perfect with the strano springs.

So all 4 have adj ride height... so if i set it to stock will it raise my ride height even though I have the lowering springs? Man i feel retarded on this, i wish i had some visuals. Are there any springs (aside from stock ones) that lower our cars only 1" or 1.25 and work well with the Koni's"? I dont mean to hijack, i am really interested in the shocks, jus gotta be sure what the effect wil b on my ride height.

Koni's on sale through May. Starting to get low on springs. More on order, and I re-ordered more and sooner--but it looks like there will be a gap, again. I'm trying to keep up!!!

As for there being any springs that low that range and work well with the Koni's? Yep, mine. http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...D=90&ModelID=7 That's the Koni 4/4's and my springs in kit form (with a discount applied).

Yes, all Koni's for these cars have adjustable rebound damping.

I really need to change my shocks when my car will be back on the road in May.. Q;
What would you recommend for a street car, M6, 3:42, 405rwhp N/A and 540rwhp on the juice. My soft and tired stock shocks/springs make my car hook but I'm afraid it wont hook anymore with stiffer shock/spring on the jug, even N/A..
My mind is set on Strano springs. For the shock, I'm hesitating between bilstein HD/SLP or ajustable Konis for a softer ajustment in the rear to hook right..
shipping to Canada?

I can ship to Canada, but it's not a lot of fun and costly. Bilstein's can go by mail, Koni's cannot (too much insurance needed).
Bilstein's won't hook better than Koni's, and Koni's can be turned down on rebound to be similar to Bilstein, but they do have a little more compression. The ride is very similar when the Koni's are turned down, but with lowering springs you'd not want to run the Koni's full soft, at least in front.
Koni warranty is void when exported that's how they protect their Canadian distributors.

You use an allen wrench the adjuster is inside the spring on the fronts. Little awkward to get at but with proper installation not a terrible issue.

Sam, I sent you a pm regarding the watts link, but ran across this thread too. Looks like I'll pick up a set of these as well since they are on sale. If you can give me a recommendation on which ones for the car, I will put an order in this week. Details in the PM.
Thanks
Thanks

I did get your PM, but the reason you haven't heard back is that it's pretty detailed and I just don't have the time right now to type it all out. And the questions you ask tend to lead to more questions which leads to more typing.
This is a classic case of "call me". The answers will be better and it'll save us both time in the end.
