Default Pics? Koni SAs (F), Stock Springs

I hear people talking about how you can lower the front 1" with the Koni SAs, and removing the isolator in there rear will drop it about 1/2". Just wondering if anyone has pictures of this setup? Also any recommendations on where to buy a set of Koni SAs? The possibilities fo this setup have me very curious.

It's either this setup (stock springs, SAs up front, HDs rear) or HDs all around with BMR springs.

Wow, that looks almost perfect to me. I checked Strano's site. No prices listed though. Any idea how much a set of Konis for the front only go for?

I'm guessing thats per shock. $500 just for front shocks, ouch. Can someone confirm if thats for a single shock or for a pair? If its a pair, I'll probably go stock springs, Konis up front, Bilsteins in the rear. I like that idea quite a bit.

Yes, that is per shock, a bit over $800 for all 4. Not cheap, but they are excellent shocks. No regrets here, and my TA has pretty much the same exact ride height as the Z28 pic posted. Sorry, I don't have any pics of my own to post though. Bilsteins in the rear will drop the price a bit, but it's really the front shocks that are the biggest piece of the expense. Good luck with whichever route you go.

I got mine from him as well. The SA'a are sweet up front because you have a lot of adjustment to play with. Full soft will be very smooth or stiffen it up for better handling. Konis up front, Bilsteins in the rear is a very popular combo for a reason.

Search the board, I remember several folks with that exact combo.
