I did it. I bought KONI's. Single Adjustable's all around. I wanna give a huge thanks to sponser Brian@Hotparts.com for really helping me select the best combo and honoring his sale promise. Eugino, thanks to you too, man.
They'll be shipped and installed within 2-3 weeks. Can't wait to make the follow-up post to this. :burnout:

If you don't have the money don't buy them. Credit Cards are evil. Save the money then pay cash. I mean what is the point in saving 5 or 10 percent on the purchase and then paying 15%-20% to pay them off. My .02

:iagree:
Credit cards are the devil! only if you leave a balance on them, hell i could fix my car right now if i wanted to pay 20% intrest forever.... intrest should only be paid on houses and car payments

i have a 0% apr for a year on my amex. i can rack it up to 3400 if i want and not pay intrest. basically free money. just sucks that not everyone, nor our local LS1 shop will accept it.

congrats on your shocks... great choice.
remember the front shock has 2 perch locations... use the lower one to lower the car ~3/4"
the rear lowering is acomplished with the hose mod.

if he's going to lower he should get aftermarket springs to support things right and relocation brackets to get the LCA's back to proper angle, and then there's the adj torque arm for the pinion angle and the adj pan hard rod to center the rear again.....

he doesn't need new springs to lower the ride.
He bought Koni SA... they have 2 perch locations... allowing for stock height and lowered ~3/4"
I wouldn't bother with LCA brackets... once done, he just has to check how close to vertical they are.

one thing at a time, mad...geez! i like the idea of stock springs-i'll put new, stock ones on for the simple fact that my currents have 100k on them. Gonna be a while b4 i get to drive it...damn shop doesn't have any lifts available.
