Rides better with Koni's

I got my Koni struts installed yesterday along with the drilled and slotted rotors.

The ride is alot better now than it was. Haven't had to adjust the the firmness yet but I give them . Now, when I hit a pothole or a bump, It doesn't feel and sound like my front end is gonna fall off. I actually got them done at my car dealership and I expected the bill to be alot higher than it was.

Like alot of other members, I was having rotor issues. Had them re-surfaced twice and the pads replaced. I finally got around to putting on the drilled and slotted rotors and so far so good.

But it's only been a day, I'll keep ya posted

What did you pay for the shocks? If you don't mind me asking.

I only got the fronts, 8641-1500 Sports from tirerack.com for $365.41 shipped. Minor fabrication was required.

drill hole in the stock strut to drain the oil, cut the stock strut to remove the upper half than insert the koni into the bottom half of the stock strut (sleeve) and thats it. I ended up getting an alignment just for giggles. al in all though, worth it. Rides much better!
