Koni shocks installed

Not sure if that is directed at me or what it means. I have not seen an install of Konis before. What am I missing here?

TY. They look just like OEM, I can not see the printing on there anywhere. I want to do a similar solution using 2.5" springs and koni 2812's.

Having a heck of a time finding a top mount. Sort of wondering if I can buy a set of OEM replacements and have them fabricated.

They do? My OEM had about 2-3" gap in between each coil. My swifts have zero gap up top for the first 5-6 coils then a 1" for the rest, same as his pic.

All squished up on the lower perch and after 4 or 5 vodkas, yeah. For some reason I thought the spec R's were blue. /shrug

OEM springs are linear, they have the same spring rate all the time, swifts are progressive, the have different spring rates depending on their compression, that's why they are a bit smoother that the OEM springs. For handling I actually prefer linear springs, but I got a good deal on the swifts so I went for them.
