Konis Installed!!
Well, 7 months and about $800 later, I finally have aftermarket shocks (struts actually). 7 months cuz' I was praying my stock shocks could withhold the might of my Neuspeed Sports until I had some extra cash to throw for some Konis. And $800 cuz' of the cheapest-I-could-find price of $554 shipped from Tornactive and a big fat $266 install job because of the needed modification to the OEM struts. Besides that refreshing bending-over-experience, the ride is much smoother and I don't cringe everytime I hit any kind of bump whatsoever!! Was it worth it??? Well, if we were to time travel to 4 months from now only to see me kicking myself in the *** cuz' my stock struts were blown and Tokico and KYB have YET to release an alternative, I'd say 'Hell yes, it was worth it!!"

with koni's you dont have to swerve out of the way for bumps, its like driving a stock suspension car again

your rims are too small though you need 23" spinners.
