Koni's which one
Koni's which one hopefully sam strano will jump in i want to get some koni's dont know if i want to lower it right down but if i do it will be with dms springs. what konis would be a good price i need them asap
And whats the difference between the two sets that hes got KONI4/4 and KONI3/4 (besides price and spring rate) Would the 3rd gen rear make your car lower then the 4th? I know you can use the 4th to lower by using the lower perch and removing the spring isolator. What if you plan on getting Stranosprings to lower it- which set of shocks would best complement his springs?? (cuz Im getting some!!! 
)
) I was looking at Koni's and one has a fixed spring perch the other is adjustable,is the fixed perch the factory setting.I read they had a dropped perch,but I didn't know they were adjustable.
Time to dispel a few myths:
- The adjustability of Koni SA's is rebound, not ride height.
- The front Koni SA's have a c-clip that can be mounted in two places on the shock body. This determines where the spring perch sits, thus determining the ride height of the FRONT of the vehicle.
- In the rear, shocks have nothing to do with ride height. Only the springs determine that.
- The heater hose mod is for the rear springs and has nothing to do with the shocks. You can do the heater hose mod on the rear springs with any shocks, but the ride might suck afterwards, especially on stock deCarbons.
- Koni 3rd gen rears are not on-car adjustable. Also, I believe the adjustment on the 3rd gen's is more coarse than the 4th gen's, but I could be wrong (it's happened before and it will happen again).

I not sure if i should buy 3gen or 4gen rear for my car.
4/3's are less expensive, but the rears have less adjustment and you have to take them off to do it.
4/4's are more expensive, rears are more flexible in how much adjustment they have and are done right on the car in a few seconds.
Both the above use the same front shock, which has the two position spring perch height. DA's do not have that feature.
And to SmokeySS. I'm guessing your the gentleman who's springs didn't ship? Sorry, I wish I could say we were absolutely perfect, but alas we are human too and simply forgot to ship the springs. I'm sure we apologized, and if not, I'm sorry. If you are indeed that person, they are sitting on my shipping counter right now with a label on them and the FedEx driver will pick them up in a few hours.
