You guys are going to LOVE these things!

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?

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.

I'll take pictures today as well.

thanks for the info. if you have any side shots of pre and post koni's i'd like to take a look.

if the drop is less than 1/4" then i dont have an issue.

Before and after shots. I see a slight difference if any.

thanks for posting this up. so i am assuming the front is slightly ower than before due to perch location but the rear is the same, correct?

You are correct, sir.

Thanks man. I'm doing HFC, Z1 MAF tubes and K&N drop-ins in a few months.

Sweet! But I was talking about the performance of the Koni's as opposed to the looks of them.

Cool, in this case I will keep in my future to buy list.
