hmm that makes no sense as i will be running 8.5" and 9.5" wheels which are wider then factory so it makes very little sense, but i should have the coils on the car in about a week or so, i went with them as i love KW's and for under $1000 these were the cheapest (non-Chinese) coilovers for our cars

Finally I got the KONI, and this afternoon I installed it. All very well except one thing, the car has much lower rear axle than the front, in fact the front axle has gone down very little and the rear a crazy low. It is very strange because normally the front part falls more because of the weight of the engine etc ... I am very surprised with the result.
We have cheked everything and everything is well assembled and fitted, I d´ont know why the car has stayed that way ...
Any ideas? maybe with time and litte bit of runnig in everything is repositioned and adapts?

Them seem really nice so far. I have yet to get it corner weighted and realigned as I am waiting for them to fully break in. I dont drive much. The ride is nice and the handling is way better now. My fronts were clapped out though.

As my car sets now there is no issues. I cant go any lower in the front though or the tire will hit the perch. My backs are as low as the setup go. Your stance looks great too.
