hayames to gc/koni setup
i'm guessing i'm going to need to get my hands on a stock suspension again in order to run the gc/koni setup, right?
and how much would shops normally charge to do the install of koni's? seeing how they need to cut it up? or have they made inserts that don't need modding?

why would you want to go from hayames full coilovers to Koni? well the install isn't that hard for the Koni just follow the instructions its really simple

Its probably the smartest thing you'll do.
The install isn't hard, just takes 2 hours, but you will need to get your hands on a stock suspension, blown is fine and they seem to be plentiful these days. for a shop to do it is gonna cost you some coin I bet because they're gonna have to figure it out, press them in etc. You'll need upper mounts too..... the rears are about 70 new from the dealer (for both) I don't know what the front bearings are.

Rep Power: 304 nothing's wrong with my current setup, that i know of. i've just been contemplating this for a very long time. custom spring rates and adjustable shocks for a reasonable price, who wouldn't consider?

If you have stock upper mounts for all 4 corners, you don't need new upper mounts.
