I am looking to get some Koni Yellow shocks for this spring and was curious to know if the 25mm drop of spring seat height works on both the front and rear. Also, if anybody has experience with these I'd love to hear their thoughts. Thanks!

So I found a set of Tein Flex Coilovers on Tuners for a decent price and those should be here before february. I guess I figured if I was gonna get springs and a new top hat anyway, the Koni route was gonna be more expensive and not as adjustable as I wanted. So now I'm super excited for when those come in!

Koni are superior to Tein. IMO.

I will still agree to that, especially when a good coilover spring setup is on the Koni's. It really came down to bang for buck though. I had a hard time finding anybody to do the Koni setup like I wanted for less than a grand...

Let alone the ultimate setup that everybody idolizes: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/handling-tech/181556-2g-suspension-option-ati-dennis-grant.html

Haha lucky!!! I need that rear bar like you and I'd be willing to hit the road course more comfortably and do some 'cross as well. Are you FWD or AWD? The bars aren't easy for AWD...

Awd. Keep your stock rear bar if you go to higher spring rates. RM front bar is a lil pain nothing bad though.

Hm interested good to know. Yea the Flex's will come with high spring rates so I will leave the bars in for now. Thanks for the advice!
