I have heard they will lower your car up to an additional 1". I have also heard that some people have had problems depending on what spring you use. I don't have these so I can't give any specifics.

From what I understand... They are adjustable by the springperch... Like 3 settings or something... I'd like to go another inch lower WITHOUT having to do a coilover conversion... I heard these will do (or come close) the job...

those shocks are great. it depends on the spring and the height that they are different.



on my first fd, i had the koni's with the ground control set up, and the car was lowered 2" over stock rollers...

koni's don't automatically come with coilovers. you have to buy them separately............... silver93tt has the M2/AD coilovers they are real nice but they were like $4000!!!

Yeah... I know. I heard that with stock springs, you can lower the car with the different settings for the spring perch... Maybe I'm mistaken?

yes, you can adjust the spring perch to lower the car a tad more, i advise keeping stock springs or going with non-proggressive rate springs if you do the shocks, because progressive rate shocks will feel mushy and you will bottom out a lot.

The koni's have an adjustable perch from what I have heard. That is what enables you to lower the car some.
