I'm just curious because I heard theres something you can adjust on the shock that can go up and down. I'm probably hearing it all wrong, but can someone just fill me in.

no you will need coilover sleeves or lowering springs.

^what he said...the adjusting for koni shocks is just to adjust how stiff the shock you want it to be

I know on the koni yellow sport shocks there are three perches, so you should be able to set it on the lowest perch, but it wouldn't be a significant drop.

yup. i've never heard of anyone lowering their car this way, but it is possible.

after spending 400+ on shocks, why not just throw in another 150 and get a set of springs? it's not any extra work or anything.

its true or just get some ground control coilovers. Adjustable ride height and custom spring rates. You can't go wrong, great for daily driving (if you don't mind having a little bit of a stiff ride) and supposedly good for track usage to.

And you might as well go both anyway cause installing the shocks requires removal of your springs.
