Question FOR People with KONI'S!!!!!!

I ordered a set of Koni's for the rear of my car to give it more stability when I have stuff in the back of my car and to give me a better ride. MY Question is does it really take a lot of the bumps out of the road??? IS the ride 10X better? Do you think I should just go ahead and get the fronts too? Thanks

What kind of springs do you have now? It will make the back a little stiffer. You can always adjust it though.

It made the ride a lot better for people in my back seat......Before on bad bumps or train tracks they would launch up and hit their head on top......Now the bumps are softer and takes the bounce out of the bumps......Also, my saggy *** problem was fixed....Its a lot nicer stance......[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].......I would definately recommend the fronts as well...City driving is much improved and Highway driving(especially on canyons) is very fun.......

Yeah get fonts and rears. Then you can set your car up for whatever kind of driving or load you are going to do that day. Handling is much much improved with Konis.

Koni's definitely dampend the bumps. It is not as bouncy anymore and it feels alot more controlled. You should get the fronts also to balance things out plus this will allow you to tune your own suspension to your own driving style.

Decamo has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Ok, I get the idea that Koni's offer an awesome ride but do they fix the problem of bottoming out on lowering springs? Like when you hit a raised manhole or a dip in the road will your car still bottom out?

You have the progress springs how do you feel about them? Would you recommend them to me?? Ride fairly good, did the camber kits resolve the camber problem with your 2" drop. Thanks tekniq
