Default We all know what happens when we mention UPS on this board..



Yep, I got this and put it in a couple weeks ago, I was just too lazy to put together this wonderful post for you all

Anyway, you wonder what could it be? Lets take a closer look..


Still dont know? How about now?


Yep, you got it, they are shocks - KONI YELLOWS!


Love at first sight..


The patient:

a few war wounds, but she'll pull through,

ride height dropped on eiback sportlines with stock shocks


See my hmdm(home made domestic market) rice!@@@


Lets get to the install..

Can you say... BLOWN?

Looks like ketchup and mustard



final product with new drop



I set the height perches to the lowest setting along with the drop with eibach sportlines. Although it looks dope as ****.. I had to raise it back up 1 notch because simply it was too low. I scraped bad everywhere and im lucky that I raised it back up before i went to downtown!! But yeah..

If you have eibach sportlines and plan on getting koni yellows, i recommend to leave the height-adjusting rings where they are when you take them out of the box.

As far as ride performance.. I have 0 regrets of my new investment. Love these things. Set them to the softer setting, I can cut through turns like a hot knife through butter. Set them towards firm, I can feel great stiffness and improves traction a lot through each gear. As far as driving comfort, basically its like day and night in comparison to stock shocks and the yellows.

The car looks pretty low, may hinder performance rather than help it.

Whats that shinier part near the rear of the tire well? Is that from tire scrub? You might want to spray it down with some undercoat if its straight up bare metal.
