Koni shock question
 

just installed Koni yellows all around and had pre existing switf springs. My front seems a noticeable amount lower than it was on the OEM shocks. Has anyone else had this happen? Wasn't wanting to lower the car any so this was unexpected. Thanks

Sorry to say, unless something was wrong before... shocks do not change the height of your vehicle... that's springs.

:iagree:

It might be you just noticed the springs settle, shocks do not change the ride height.

Shocks may make a small difference in ride height because of a difference in gas pressure in the shock but I don't remember there being much of a difference in height when I switched to Konis. I didn't take measurements though.

It's been reported that the front Koni lower spring mount is about 1/4" lower than OEM. So the car sits about a 1/4" lower in the front.

I think this is probably it. Plus i did a super shitty job of routing break ducts at the same time which exaggerated the issue. Would it be possible to re do the spring mounts?

You would have to take the guts out of the coil-over. Because when welding the mount in it's new location. You could boil the fluid from welding. I wouldn't want to try it without a locating jig to hold the mount in place.

so that's a no from me lol. i'll live with the 1/4 inch for now. One day if i decide to rebuild these possibly. or just get a decent set of coils.

Just step up to a good set of coil overs when the time comes.
