that's it

if you decide to cut remember do not cut more than half a coil or your car will be slammed and that's not good.

the other thing is that you need to get Koni Yellows.

there's a guy on this forum that's been trying to sell them for almost a year now and iI think he's gone as low as $400. Do a search...I think he calls himself CLK430. He hates me because I told him he was trying to sell the shocks for way too much money but maybe he'll change his mind once he sees that I may have found him a buyer.

Once mounted can you adjust the rear and front or is it blocked? Please tell us more about why you feel so strong about Koni's.

Koni's just work excellent with any spring and especially if you have cut springs. I know from experience. I've had almost every shock out there and they suck *** unless you have a normal ride height from a drop spring. You can't go any lower with any other shock because they will bust after about 3 months and your car will bounce....Trust me.

Assuming you tried Bilstein sports as well. How do you feel in comparison? Are you able to adjust rear and front without having to remove the shock?

Did you set yours to stiffest?

I just set mine to the stiffest setting...I have never wanted or had to adjust to a different setting so couldn't tell you how hard it is to adjust them. The stiff setting isn't really that stiff....ask anyone who has a set.
