Default rear first, or front/rear, Koni shocks

Hey guys!

Im pretty new to suspension mods so please bare with me.
Ok.. so I already purchased the Strano springs and the Koni 4/4 rear shocks-- but not the fronts.

My questions are:

-Is it recommended that I install the front shocks as well as the rear shocks at the same time?? Or can I do the rear shocks first, then the front shocks at a much later time??

-Also does anyone know the SKU# or item number for the Koni front shocks?

Im sure some of you have done this.. so please give me some feedback/ recommendation. Thanks so much guys!!!


Oh btw... I already have the PHB, LCA, and relo brackets.

Even just putting the rear Koni's on is going to be an improvement, go ahead and put them on!

if you have stock shocks, you MUST put all new shocks when you lower the car... or else!

Here's a suggestion for this type of situation:

If one only has the rear Koni's, but a whole set of lowering springs, then one can install the rear Koni's by themselves and then wait until the front Koni's arrive. I say this because even only the rear shocks replaced by the Koni's alone can make a significant difference and the rear springs can be installed/uninstalled independent of the rear shock installation.

That's where I'm at at the moment(job in limbo ) and needing to round up some more front suspension parts to do the deed. But yes, it is a significant difference.
