Ive got that exact combo and it handles very well, gets rid of a lot of bounciness. The ride is still fairly rough on the highway though and on very slow turns like in a parking lot, my suspension makes creaking noises. I really need to get that checked out.

i just had my koni Yellows installed today and i have SkunK2 coilovers. im hella satisfied with the difference between the ride with the Yellows as opposed to the stock struts. i have yet to play with the adjuster on my yellows though....... i did pay 780$ to buy/install though since i didn't have the pipe cutters needed for the install on the front struts for the DIY , so the price is a littleabove average

I don't know what adapters people keep talking about becuase I have Konis and Ground Control and I didn't use no adapter. At least that is what they told me when they installed them.

I have the front on the softest setting and the rears on about 1 turn. You usually wanna keep the rear a lil tighter to help out with understeer. If you do autocross though set the rear to the firmest setting during your runs but set it back to normal when you go back out on the highway. I am pretty happy with the way it handles but the ride comfort isnt all that much better than the stock dampers with the skunks, a bit less bouncy is all. But it sure as hell feels much more confident around the twisties. I still need to get a thicker rear sway bar because I still have too much understeer during autocross runs. And I still need to get the strange noises during slow turns checked out too.
