I had a request a while ago to post my results when I finished my suspension install.



I just finished an install of Koni sport adjustable shock with Racing Beat Spring, Racing beat sways, and the M2 Trailing Arms.



The install was pretty straight forward and I had no problems. I've done suspesion work on lots of other cars and this one was pretty easy as double A-arm set ups tend to be. The whole thing took me about 4 to 5 hours and I work at a modest pace.



The ride seems nice and not much harsher than stock. I have the shocks on a middle firmness settings. Body lean is much reduced. I haven't wrung the car out on a mountain road yet but I like the feel better and I think it will handle nicely.



It did make the car quite a bit lower especially in the back. I used the middle of the three spring perch settings on the Konis.



The only downside seems to be that even modest dips in the road make my plastic understay scrape and big dips slam the bottom of the car if not taken carefully. Guess I should have used the top spring perch setting! Too late now unless I want to take it all apart.



Maybe putting the shocks on full firm might help the bottoming out?

 

is it bottoming out or are you hitting the fenders.... i thought i was bottoming out but i was hitting fenders!!!
