Finally got the ED springs and koni yellow shocks put on. BIG thanks to Hoon for helping with the install!
Rides great, no squeaks or strange noises. Definitely stiffer than stock but just the right amount for street driving, feels really tight. Rear konis were adjusted just shy of 1/2 turn stiff before install. I haven't adjusted the fronts yet but will probably match the rears. It also needs an alignment (was gonna do anyway) as it pulls slightlyyy to the right.
Overall, very happy with how it came out. Learned alot in the process which was great. I also kind of understand why people throw spacers in the rear now. The drop really emphasizes how far in the rear wheel is, looks a bit off. Will see how it all comes together when I throw on my new wheels in a few weeks (19x8.5 et45).
