Used EDJ's instructions today to install my new Konis. They were great! 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?
