Default The much anticipated (by me) drop............

before and after pics, although, not necessarily in that order. Big thanks to Chris, from PD Performance and Bobby, Val and Dante at DTC. smooth as silk install. WHAT A DIFFERENCE. perfect combo, Neupeed w the Koni's. not too hard, not too soft. H&R sway also makes a palpable diff. Great ride (1 hr) home! thanks for all the input early on. I think I landed on the right susp for my style. The bad is, I ran out of time and had to split, or I would have had the 5 hr REVO trial :-(. Go Tigers.

Default lol, you were actually going to get a REVO trial?

tsk tsk . . . stick with your original plan. ;-)

The fronts should be dampening adjustable while on the car though right? I found that I needed to adjust the fronts within the first few weeks to get them set right where I wanted them.

Default it's only a 5 hr trial............

I hear you. Chris said that Koni did not include an adjustment tool, but I think it's just an allen wrench (?) why did you adjust them, for ride quality?

Default Well the programming that it reverts your ECU to is not stock programming.

It is very different from stock programming.

The rear konis use an allen wrench, but I think the fronts might use one of these. . . .

<img src="http://www.koni-na.com/pics/knobkitshort.jpg">

you can tell by looking at your front strut towers and seeing whether or not the shock rod has an indentation for an allen wrench or a raised portion for this adjuster.

You should talk to Judge and ask how his chip is doing. He's said that the DSG is significantly better with APR than REVO. Still don't know about GIAC. I would look into getting a trial flash of that if I were you.

Default That's a good idea..........

All the $$$$ I've given AWE, you would think. I'm going to ask them. and, you are correct, again..............the fronts did come with the adjuster, the rears did not.
