I'm thinking of adding some Koni Shocks. I like the Ride height adjustment.

I currently have Eibach springs now. I've had them for about 5 yrs now. Still getting some wheel gap. I can fit two of small fingers between the tire and the body of the car. I think back then their springs only lowered the car 3/4".

Will the Koni's drop my car? Instead of looking like a
4 x 4.

Any drawbacks to these struts?

Or should I order a different lowering spring too.
The passenger side sits a little higher as well.

thanks for the replies.

Koni shocks have nothing to do with ride height. Great shocks/strut inserts.. But I think you're confused as to what you want. Height adjustability is a function of your springs (or in the case of coil overs, the spring seat on the coilover)

It's going to be roughly the same height the car is now, but it'll handle a heck of a lot better.

Actually Koni's have adjustable collars that can give you roughly another 1/2" drop all around. They're very good shocks although you might start to rub in the front if you go that low. At the highest setting they're exactly like stock so you can always set them back up if you rub, and they'll improve handling so its a pretty safe bet.

 

Maybe on 3rd gens, but not on 2nd... And since he said strut, I ***-u-me that he meant 2nd gen
