H&R's and Koni's Feel Great

I had some Koni yellows installed in my car this week. I had been running H&R spring with the factory shocks (130k miles) and the difference is amazing. My brakes feel so much better because the car doesn't dive forward at all on hard braking. They are set about 3/4 hard in the front and 1/2 in the back. I went through some twisty roads about 40 mph last night and it felt great.

I had posted a thread a while back about this, so I figured I would update everyone...

Damn Alan,
It's about time! You have been talking about an upgrade for months. Wait till you get to the end of your tire tread life....you know, when you set them to full stiff and just start taking every turn @80 mph!

Hey, could you let me know where you got your parts, how much they cost and how much your install cost if you didn't do it yourself. I'm trying to figure out how much I need for a similar set up. Plus im thinking of getting a bushing set too.
