It actually sits a little bit lower, too.

I was wondering what they would do to ride height. I was hoping they dropped it slightly. Is this absolutly true or could your eyes be playing tricks on you?

Awesome news! What setting do you have the Koni's at?

kenchan 01-25-2012 01:57 PM
yah, if the koni's do lower the car slightly (even 1/4") i'd like to know cause i dont want to lower my car at all at this point. :D hahaha. (dont want to mess with alignment and all).

OK OK OK

I am considering it strongly. But... I just bought this last Saturday (ignore the list price).

Canon U.S.A. : Consumer & Home Office : EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM

Never go to Pardee's Camera with one of your kids whose only job is to facilitate impulse purchases. :icon17:

It's a little bit lower, like a 0.25 inch at the most. When yours arrive, compare them side by side to the stock struts and you will see the Koni's are a tad bit shorter. I thought maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me until I realized that when I lowered the front down, I couldn't roll the jack straight out.

The fronts are set to the lowest end and the rears are +3.

If you guys ever make a trip to Dallas, let me know and I will take you out for beers. You all have been a big help. Thanks for the support. :tiphat:

I'll take pictures today as well.

Yep that is a sweet lens... considering it myself. I just need to sell off some of my other "small" lenses first. My last lens purchase was the Canon 70-300 L IS USM. It's a beauty. I also have the 70-200 2.8 L IS USM but the 70-300 is more compact and easier to get into sporting events (arenas).

Nice selection of lenses you have there. I have a 10 - 22 and the 100 - 400 as well.

I sold my 28 - 135 to one of my sons and the 24 - 70 will be my "walk-around". It is amazingly sharp and very heavy. My next lens is the 70 - 200 IS II, I think.

Konis first though.
