Koni and Skunk2 Coilovers Install successful!
Well it took me about 15 freaking hours... There were multiple problems. First I used a hack saw on the first stock strut...that took forever!
Then the skunk2 sleeves wouldn't go over the koni insert (not skunk2's fault, but koni's) So I had to go get a dremel to trim it down. I'm glad I got one! Came in handy a lot of other times.
I had no problem cutting the stock strut right on. I actually had to cut a few times before I got it cut down far enough. I played it safe and did a little and then eyed how much more I needed.
Then the axle came out and gave me a pain in the ass to get back in. I had it supported, but left it over night...I guess a troll came by and shoved it outta the way :D
Then the second strut went by easy, I even used my dremel and about 4 cutting pieces :D
The rears were the absolute worst to me. The bushings require drilling to open them up enough to fit over the koni. That took forever. I think maybe my drill bit is about toast from all the drilling.
Then there were parts that koni provided that I didn't see necessary to use.
Over all the ride is superb! I can't begin to explain. It's like I have a sports car now! It's tons better than my 97 Civic EX (it was maxed out suspension wise). I love the ride. I have the konis set kinda high, so I might lower the firmness some later on tomorrow.
The skunk2 coilovers are great. No problems so far :D
I just need to raise the rear a little more...I'm soooooo tired now I can't do shit, but drink beer now.
Anyway, to end this long ass post :D I think koni should have provided the bushing necessary for the rear...I payed over 500 for the damn things....throw me a bone koni! Rediculous!
Here's some pics
I'll take more when its daylight out
