just installed konis

i just installed my koni yellows tonight. i bought them used with stock springs (supposedly about 15k miles on them) assembled and ready to go on.

after installing, i went on the maiden voyage and everything was great. the ride is much more responsive and tighter feeling, but not more harsh. i used the middle spring seat on the front shocks and the lowest spring seat on the rear shocks. will post up a couple pictures later

two thumbs up

With stock springs you should be ok, but if eventually go with lowering springs....run the highest perch up front. Otherwise you'll rub a hole through your fender liner.....

actually today i noticed a little "cush" sound when the passenger rear shock compresses. none of the others make this sound. could that be a problem?

when i changed my springs and shocks for the first time, it made the biggest difference in handling, then later i added along strut bars, and sway bars, it just keeps getting better and better.
