Default Koni 1 inch drop question

I was wondering if the 1 inch drop with koni's would require an adjustable panhard hard to realign the rear.

Yes you would need an Adjustable PHB to re-align the rear end under the chassis of the car.

Chances are high that you will.

But, It will depend a lot on your choice of rim and tire size.

If the tires rub, then buy a PHB. No need to buy something you really don't need.

Ok, is it possible to go with koni's and not have to drop the car? I thought I remember something about you can use a different perch to adjust the height...?

if you use the upper snap ring on the fronts and leave the rear spring alone, you will have koni shocks on a stock height car. If you use the lower snap ring and remove the rear spring isolator, you will have koni's on a lowered car
