Koni Yellows installation question

Hey guys,

I have installed my new Konis with stock springs and as shown in the picture, the gap between the body frame and the rubber part (I am not sure about the name of the component, hence the picture) seems a lot larger than what it used to.

Is it normal?

My version of the FSM does not show it (and I am actually not even sure of it's use myself).

Any feedback will be (as usual) deeply appreciated.

Thanks,

Joel

Is the gap larger on both front sides, or just 1 side? On mine when the Tociko's were installed, the passengers side front has the same gap yours does, but my drivers side is fine. Because of this, the right side of the car is SLIGHTLY lower on one side

As long as you're sure everything is all tight, then you should be fine.

Heres a thread I found

If your hood can close just fine, it's ok.

That is an interesting thread Ernesto, I was going to get my car aligned, I am hopping they can compensate for it. The gap is the same on each side (the one on the picture not the one mentioned in the uneven ride thread and everything is tight to specs.

Always good to have your point of view.

Thanks for the feedback guys (now let's install the water temp and boost gauge sensor...).
