    It has been about a month since I swapped out my oem shocks and struts/H&R lowering springs..net with the Koni oranges b/c all I wanted was a decent upgrade from oem. I first paired the Koni with the H&R springs but the front end sat too high, so I looked into springs and saw CS were 1.2 front and 1 rear and boom fixed that. Although my oem suspension wasn't bad I can tell a difference in ride quality, much smoother ride.

    Yeah man. Koni FSD and CS springs here. About 50,000 miles on mine. Struts are tired. Probably will go yellow or something. Dunno.

    Looks good! I'm running Koni Str.t as well, but on stock springs (which are likely getting tired after 91k and could probably do to be replaced). How wide are those wheels and tires you're running; any issues with them rubbing at that height? Did you fender roll at all?
