How low are you looking to go?

Also remember, if you want to run sports in the future, you will need to buy Koni "spec" Gc's now.


450F 350R is a good starting point. 350F is pretty soft.

Did you read my post?

To use Koni Sports you need the koni specific ground control sleeves. I have no clue if you can use them on the red's.

Just save up and do it at once.

The problem with waiting to buy the strut at the same time is my skunk2 coilovers are falling apart and now these a pop in the steering.

If you get Koni Yellows later than you'll be doing it twice if they are different from the Reds.
