Default Koni yellows on stock springs

Anyone have a picture of Koni yellows on stock springs ? I know the shocks can be setup to lower the car slightly, just wondering how it looks.


I currently have an Eibach pro kit with Auto zone KYB shocks. I HATE the ride quality. It is absolute garbage !! Looks good though.

I have them, but it's not on the lower perch....so it probably won't do you much good:



Think of the front dropped about 3/4", and the rear by 1/2", haha....so basically it's just a picture of a stock height fbody

If nothing else, I like posting pictures if I have the chance....haha

EDIT: Did a quick chop, about .5-.75" drop (pardon the fact that I'm terrible with photoshop and you can still see the outline of the car above it:

I'll also add, it was a fantastic upgrade. Handling is greatly improved, as has stability, while keeping ride quality very close to stock (bumps are more firm, but not harsh) and it even got rid of some rattles I had. Great upgrade overall (and I'm going to drop it on the lower perch when I get a chance this spring/summer).

very helpful guys, thank you !

I'm pretty sure i'm going to ditch these shocks and springs. I will most definitely be going with some Koni yellows but i'm still undecided on springs at the moment.

I can tell you that on stock springs my car handles amazing with these shocks. It is night and day and could tell a difference from the moment I left the driveway. Adjustable shocks are the way to go. Well worth the money and never look back. I will be installing sway bars and subframe connectors next.

Why not get a set of Strano's springs to go along with the Konis? No point in spending big money on shocks to have the car sitting at 4x4 stance again. Plus your car looks SICK

couple reasons one is my TD's. I wanted to see how the car rode with the stock springs and see how much clearance I had on the lower perch first. Install was super easy so no big deal if I gotta take them out. I will probably still get some stranos once other suspension mods are done with.
