I dont know if its been covered, but...how many inches can you safely lower your car after you install koni yellows and still get a nice decent ride??

Just remember that even if you have Konis your car is still going to be bouncy even if set on the stiffest setting. Don't use the stiffest setting either unless the rodes are smooth or your at the track. I fu (Ked a couple of konis out like that.

also remember that the koni, just like MOST aftermarket struts are designed to be used w/ the stock spring [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] which means that they are designed to be used at stock ride height...although koni says that they reccomend use up to 1.5" lowered

i wish i bought a set of those short body bec-tec struts, that would be great
