HAHAHA too funny.
I did the same thing! except I missed a digit in my credit card. I guess my brain was moving faster than my fingers!
Called him yesterday and got it all sorted out. He posted today (earlier in this thread) that they still have stock, so Im hoping I get a shipping confirmation shortly!!

The F4/F4 setup is the on-car single adjustable Koni shocks for the front and rear where as the double adjustable Koni shocks is just like the title say double adjustable.
I got a quote of $98 from the website with the package, phoned in order to make sure parts were available and wouldn't have to wait til sept and when I checked my account looks like I got hit with roughly $250. Quote system must be WAY off.

So what are these "Recomended settings" anyway? Got my stuff in yesterday and was thinking of setting the shocks a hair stiff. Or one click +. The backs are serious OFF CAR adjustable. And did anyone else not get bushings for the rears??

Shoot me a PM with your name and I will check into your order and see what is up with it because shipping shouldn't be that expensive unless it is international or expedited.

Those parts would be $907.05 shipped to your door.

We recommend 5 full sweeps from full soft on the front and 1 position past full soft on the rear. If you wanted to set them a little stiffer it definitely wouldn't hurt anything at all. The rear shocks should have definitely come with bushings so if your didn't give Kevin a call here at the shop and he can take care of you.

You said they ship with recommended settings front/rear right?

Also, I sent an email asking when the LCA's would be back in stock, any word on that?

Thanks.

Got my order straightened out! Shipping really was what it was supposed to be, just a goof with applying the discount. Thanks again for the help Kyle! Can't wait to throw these puppy's on and toss the old worn 100k mile suspension.

No problem! I am glad I was able to get it straightened out for you.

You will need to adjust the Koni shocks when you get them because they don't come adjusted when we get them from Koni.

Your LCAs will be shipping out tomorrow so it won't be long before you have them in your hands.

It turns out these are not being mailed out with the shock setting recommendations I wrote up. So if you receive them and would like to get the settings, PM me and I'll copy/paste them into the email for you.

Glad we got the order taken care of where you were overcharged, sorry about the confusion!

STILL IN STOCK. Like I said...we ordered a LOT more initially from Koni this year.

- Kevin

Did Kyle take care of you on this, otherwise, PM me and I'll look into it as well. I agree with you. We're working on getting a live inventory active in the near future, but compatibility issues with our software vs. website have been a hurdle.

He did indeed, I got the email and response here about the same time. lol

Thanks for checking up. Sending PM to get suggested settings for shocks.

Outstanding.. Thanks. And the bushings were in there. Were just buried.

Hey MarcusR80, I'm in middle of my install... back is done, but need to replace upper ball joints... so doing those before the fronts go back in. How do you adjust the front Koni struts? I'm not clear.

Did you adjust them prior to install with the springs? Or did you just put them in as is? I want a stiffer setup but unsure about how exactly to do it.

Do you install them to get load on the struts then turn that little **** with an allen wrench? This seems difficult outside of the car, and I wasn't sure if I needed to fully compress the strut and hold it down while turning the ****.

All feedback welcome!

I did it before i put the springs on. i just stuck an allen wrench in there and spun it "4 sweeps" which is about 1 full turn i guess as its about a quarter turn per sweep.. just stick the allen wrench in the nearest hole u can see to the left side of the slot and turn it all the way til u hit the right side of the slot and thats 1 sweep (thats how i understood it anyway).. did u adjust the rears before u put them in? it took me longer to figure out how to adjust the rears b/c i didn't know the plastic slid down to expose the adjustment button lol.. btw i did 1 click from full soft on the rear.. and mine are the 4/3's i'm not sure if 4/4 are the same

Wasn't sure if you got the PM yet from BMR, so I forwarded it to you.

But my question was the same I think, I wasn't sure if I should adjust these with the springs mounted or just free in my hands.

Thanks a ton! Fronts are adjusted now, seems it needed the spring load. But I didn't do the rears right as I didn't see the button, so I will redo those tonight. Thanks for the PM that helps so much!

I don't know about you guys, but I got three sets of graphical instructions with the Konis, and each one seemed different and required more interpretation than it should.
