Thanks!



If it was me installing it, I would not have been able to do it. I know there's a DIY, but if you haven't touched a suspension before or anything similiar, you will definitely have a hard time figuring things out. Lucky for me, Matt use to be a BMW mechanic and is now working on pcars, mostly.



The ride/handling is a million times better. There is not comparison!!! When I take corners now, or enter or exit the highway, I can hardly feel anybody roll! The ride is just awesome! If you want to check it out, maybe we can meet up next week, some time. That's if your girl will let you out.



It was 1.5 turns for the rear and 1 turn for the front. IMO, that's the best setting, but then again, I haven't tried the others yet either. But if it ain't broke, don't fix it. lol!



He cut down the bottom two portions and left the top two.



BK FTMFW!!! Yeah, lucky for me, I hooked Matt up with all them WHOPPERS!!!




Also, just want everyone to know that it drives really well over bumps, it's really smooth, maybe because I'm still riding on 17s? Because it feels exactly as my non-zsp only with a firmer not harder ride.

All in all, I am completely satisfied with the setup!
Why did you cut the bump stops? Is that required because the H&R springs reduced the shock travel or do the Koni's have less travel than the stock shocks?

Konis did not come with bumpstops.

THe originals are way big, and the shock travel in the front is already limited, even when stock. Putting lowering springs on just makes the situation worse. They even say in the instructions to cut one or 2 sections off of it.
