Calling Koni Yellow and Swift spring owners

Did you do the install? Were all the parts put back on properly?

Talking

On the front Koni's. The lower spring perch is 1/4" lower than stock. So the front will sit lower a 1/4" lower. Commonly asked question about Koni's.

Thanks Rusty, is there any official reference or evidence for this? other than me taking them off and measuring against the oem.

Email correspondence from koni are stating no height changes occure from shock.

Do we know if there is a solution for this? Can a spacer or similar be used to sit under the perch? I wonder if the G37 shocks sedan or coupe are different than 370z and Koni have matched it to them to save on cost. If the 1/4 inch is indeed true than Koni need to provide a solution to this such as an alternate spring perch that can raise it 1/4.

I measured them against the OEM and the fronts are a 1/4 inch lower - that's 6.35mm for metric-loving b*tch biscuits like OZ.

Thanks for the metric measurement for all of us not wanting to measure stuff in burgers per bananas

My mechanic did the install and I helped, all went on as it should.
