"Koni Coilover Install for Dummies" :)

SpongeBobTT · 04-15-2007, 08:17 AM

This is my first attempt so bear with me please

First of all, I'm an idiot.... so if something is wrong, let me know and I will change it.

Second, I completely understand why there are "missing pieces" in most of the write ups I referenced - mine has them too. You just get on a roll and forget to take pics!

Overall it was a great learning experience for me and I couldn't have done it without this forum's help.

Hopefully this will provide some useful information to someone. I have more pics and info so I will continue to add details (ride height before and after, tool list, etc) the car has settled quite a bit since these were taken.

Here's a few pics - link to write up at bottom.
