Exactly how mine felt...it was empty of oil when we pulled it. Good luck with the Koni's, really like them.

^^^Mic drop...nice summary!

Quick photo update on level of the car. Seems to have settled just a touch in the back. On the low perch for the rear, setting soft all around. Two fingers gap for the back, about three up front,...

Agreed. I always hoped there was some level of weight distribution occurring that I did not understand. Those clips are so small, made me scratch my head. But my experienced mechanic thought it was...

Very nice, another convert! Same height setting here, very good. I'm full soft all around, but on spirited drives would like just a bit more firmness, your setup should be great. Cheers!

Nice, I often want mine set one firmer than base level, will be solid. I couldn't believe I waited so long for the sway bars, so good and level through corners, car is tight and responsive,...

Glad to hear it, I really like the setup and price can't be beat! I'm set on full soft all around, but ride is still firm, although I think the back has sagged about 1/4" or so. Enjoy!

Thanks again to 4.2 crew!

Well, I got mine on the softest of (5?) settings and the ride is just a bit firmer than DRC was, I really like it. Could go one click firmer to match the spring rate a bit better, but really good all...

Hmmm, rear does seem a bit high, tough to really tell without a true side profile on flat surface, but guess it's high. So it's on lowest perch? Maybe something wrong with the install or struts?

It seems like it would be sketchy to cut a notch, you could pierce the strut body. If I remember, the spring mount is like a big e-clip, just needs a groove to clip into. I think the ride is perfect,...

Glad to hear that was it, bummer about the other lights. Again, spending $250 for the ross-tech software has been invaluable in being able to troubleshoot issues before taking to the mechanic.

No, be wary of your shop...

btw, my headlights have pointed low ever since the Koni's, you guys get this? Need to do some adjusting, tried the light adjust screws and vag, need to trick a sensor...

Any chance you can work the struts in? The change from drc was great for me. How goes the trans swap?

I set mine at lowest spring perch, perfect level. Originally at full soft rebound, would go one click firm now that broken in, stock springs, love it!

Dynamic Ride Control....sensor driven balanced fluid pressure between left and right...almost all have failed or been replaced many times with varying results. Some of have liked this cheaper,...

dre, welcome!, location?, what did you use to edit your font, tough to read. Have the DRC replaced, reputable shop should only replace other parts as needed.

4.2, I've got about 1,500 miles on mine so far, doing pretty good. I've been feeling a bit more bounce now that they are softening up a bit, minor, but I'm also running on the full soft setting....

Kismet, the part numbers are listed early in this thread I think. I wouldn't want the car any lower IMO, and I'm thinking the stock springs should be high quality so I'm looking to leave them...

This article has some nice details, and great pics of the stock stance, albeit I believe the 5 spoke Euro's were 19's..."Lord of the rings"...I like it!

The car looks perfect, really nice pics! Bad enough without my car for a few weeks, but knowing the suspension will be sorted out will be great! Thanks for the reply to the questions, I agree with...

Good to hear, thanks for the updates, pics or it didn't happen:)

Your description of the rear perches is a bit confusing, how about stock height for the lowest, then each one up a 1/4" more...

Nice work! I'm doing this same swap next week. Was thinking of using the lowest perch for the rears, by your pics it looked to be riding a bit higher than the front. What's your impression of your...
