Glad to hear it's working out for you!

Bad News: the top hat on the driver's side was not fitted correctly. I'll have to take it back to the shop and have it aligned properly tomorrow. So the job won't be finished until then.

The good news is that the passenger side is finished.

well, you're 3/4's of the way there

Most dogs do great with only 3 legs... you could try the Z with only three dampers...

That sucks, though.

That would really put a new twist on "dogging" your car.

Ok, after reading through this thread I still can't figure this out, I have a feeling it's just too late at night for my mind to work properly - Do the Koni's change the rear setup to coilover type or are the springs and shocks still separate? Got a set of these on the way myself, looking forward to driving impressions once you are all done

The rear setup remains the same.

Finished installing the driver's side this morning and just got back from a test drive. All I can say is WOW! What a difference! It solved the problem I was experiencing with the stock struts paired with the Eibachs (thanks kenchan

). The Koni's negotiate the road so much better that they inspire confidence. It actually sits a little bit lower, too.

You guys are going to LOVE these things!
