Used EDJ's instructions today to install my new Konis. They were great! :icon_tup: :yesnod: Car feels fantastic.

Bam is right that removing the front sway linkage helps. Also, the front upper control arm bolts are 17 mm, not 14 mm.

I have a couple questions, first - when you compress the rear shock for adjustment, do you need to turn it fully counter clockwise before adjusting clockwise?

Second: Just to make sure I did it correctly...after adjusting it to what I "think" is full stiff, the shaft of the shock is very slow to uncompress vs full soft where it uncompresses rather easily. Does this sound right?

What I did was compress the shock while it is standing verticle and rotate the center shaft clockwise. That would should be full stiff right?
