Default Konis finally installed!!!

I finally got the Konis installed on my EP3 after I had to wait to 3 weeks due to being sent the wrong parts the first time. Which was at no fault of Koni.

I am very please with these shocks. They install took some power tools which was no problem. I just recommend you measure and remeasure everything before you cut and drill.

The ride is stiff with minimal body roll but it is so smooth and fluid it feels a hundred times better than the stock struts. I have only had them on for a couple of days so I will write a better review later but so far I give Koni an A+.

i assume you re-use the front oem shock body. Basically you gut the front shocks and reuse the body for the koni shock. It's just an insert.

Sorry... I've been busy. I don't have pics of the install but i've got pics of the car. Doesn't look any different though. What you want pics of?

hmmm..... i'm going to go out on a limb and say "THE NEW YELLOW KONIS!"

Duh!

take some pics under the wheelwell-
like this... except not so close to it!

see- my stock shocks are leaking-

i guess they just want to see yours now... and try to point it up toward the top- where you had to drill or whatever!

(i'm still planning on Koni's -but i've asked 4 shops- none want to do the install!)
