Need some quick help on installing Koni's I'm installing my koni's today, and I'm confused.
On the fronts, where does the large washer go that comes with the koni's?
Currently I have the factory lower isolator in, the strano spring, the factory upper rubber spring perch, than the large koni washer, and then the lock nut. But I think I need to reuse the stock rubber piece that goes in-between the upper shock perch and the control arm...
help?!

I put the large washer in between the top hot and the rubber piece, and then put everything back the way it came off the car.
One side was easy, but the passenger side upper shock nut had to be cut off. Talk about rusted on!

I put on the Koni single adjustable shocks with Strano springs. With 90,000 miles on the clock, she still had the factory shocks on her... which were in rough shape.
So far I am extremely happy with this combination! I drove it for about 30 minutes this afternoon, and it definitely handles much better than before. Stiffer than stock, but not harsh.
